a_little_oc Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 This is my latest purchase from Aquabid. BIG FORM FANCY DRAGON http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/clo...tashm1237518181 Do you think he is alright? Can anyone advise me about what female would go nicely with him. Maybe someone has one for sale? Thanks from Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv_my_fish Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Nice find Maybe ask the seller for a photo of the sibling female, and if you like her, take her too! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninoid12 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Fantastic find! I highly suggest buying a sibling female. I would be very interested in buying babies off you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 He looks lovely. Are you wanting to get form or colour or aim or some middle ground? I'm not quite sure what that colour is (I tend to bury my head in the sand when it comes to genetics), but I'm guessing he's marble with BF and a metallic layer, so you could get some very interesting an unexpected colours from him, even with a sibling cross. Ideally if it was me, I'd want a female with a good strong body (that guy has a lot of fin to hold up, weedy girls need not apply!), preferably a little on the stocky side, with a short anal fin and a good 180*+ spread, but I'd want that for pretty much any fish Probably not so helpful. There are a few possibilities up for grabs, but it really does depend on what your aim is. Best bet is to ask the seller about spawn siblings, and ask for photos, just so you can make an informed decision. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 If you want him critiqued, maybe start a thread in the critique forum . That might not be what you want, which is cool, just saying ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_little_oc Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi Lilli. That would be a good idea, as soon as I work out how to upload photos to photobucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_little_oc Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I'll see if I can buy a good sibling female. Nina, you could breed them for me if you like, and you could have the pick of any babies you like. I'm new to this, and thought I would start breeding with my VT's and crowns first. It will be a bit of a learning curve. Thankfully there's plenty of info and help here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a_little_oc Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi Andrew, This fish was $20USD which is around $30 Australian dollars. Plus $25AUD for shipping and import + quarantine. Then $25 per box courier to me. (Have to check how many fit in a box) (If I've got this wrong can someone please correct me.) I'm new to this too. Thanks.
