sunnylass Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Am just having a bit of a sook actually. For some reason I'm having absolutely no luck getting another spawn happening. Up till the last month or so, I've had no problems at all, and have especially been having luck with my crowntail boys. I have one crowntail boy and one of my crowntail girls in one tub, zip! And I have a gorgeous veiltail boy in another tank with one of my original veiltail girls that I bred, and zip there too! Have the set up the same, nothing is different, although I am having trouble keeping the temp constant in the bigger green tub that I've always used. And wonder if the ct girl is maybe too small for him? Anyway, I've had my sulk now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I commiserate Teela! I couldn't get Smith or Blacksmith to spawn for WEEKS, and about 3 weeks ago I decided to defer trying til I got back from Adelaide (which is where I am now) because I have nobody at home who could cope with bbs/MW/VE feeding and all the gut-instinct stuff that goes along with young fry. I would put it down to time of year, except that you're in Ipswich and I doubt it's getting cold there! Plus Goldsmith and Dragonfly spawned twice in the time Smith and Blacksmith were being TSTB. I think my 2 males are just idiots. Here's to both of us having better luck soon! :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hmm, I had noticed my boys haven't blowing their nests in the last 3 weeks or so, and my girl I have been conditioning for the next spawn doesn't seem interested when placed next to the male, she barred up within seconds previously. I do think it could be the change in weather here. The night temperatures are certainly dropping, (my doona is back on my bed) and the humidity is also varying greatly and not as intense. I am glad you posted, I may wait until my boys start blowing bubbles again before the attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnylass Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks Lilli and Bender, nice to see others are suffering as well LOL. I'll just keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil2 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 No problems up this way... had a spawn last week-end and all my boys have bubbles. Maybe it is a climate thing (or maybe they just don't like each other ). We had a couple of 'coooolish' days a couple of weeks ago, but since then, we're back to hot and humid Doona back on the bed ... bring it on.

Bender Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I think the doona may be required because the house is not insulated, so the temperature outside is exactly the same as in! It will be nice when its cool enough to use it all night instead of waking up frozen at 2.30 to pull it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I am, of course, away the week it rains in Sydney. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnylass Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 My boys all make bubble nests, that doesnt seem to be the problem. The veiltail I have was making huge bubble nests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I was hoping the storm last night might have brought a spawn on for you, any luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnylass Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 No Bender, I am giving it a break, Forest beat the snot out of the little vt girl, and I'm thinking my ct girl just isnt old enough yet. I need to make a trip to someone's but its getting time at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
