Anasfire Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Here are some photo's of the black copper HMPK I guilted Manda into giving me whilst I stayed with her. Well maybe guilt isn't quite the right word... I just kept saying how pretty he was until she eventually asked me if I wanted him So I guess it was more manipulation. I'd have asked eventually though, in all fairness hehe Here he is, EJ (Edward Jacob/Junior) This last picture isn't in focus but it was taken with flash so you can see he has a somewhat purple irrid. I love him! He's got one of my copper females from my spawn in with him at the moment ( his cousin) and a nice little bubble nest going on under some bubble wrap. I think she's really keen, and I spotted them wrapping the other day but no eggs came of that...she still looked quite plump once they were done so I separated them for a few days and have now put her back in. She's barred up like a fishy escort in kings cross. just waiting on him to get his act in order and get some eggs out of her! I will create a spawn log when/if they succeed.

Fergus Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 LOL Joke's on you Cass, i was gonna offer you one of those boys anyway, since you gave me the baby BNs LOL He's looking really happy though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasfire Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 He has a chickie babe! who wouldn't be happy with that arrangement? Plus he has an uncle on each side to flare at when he's not entertaining and THANKS again for him. I really love him! He's actually one I'll be really sad to see go when he dies, and mostly I don't get upset over fishy death any more! PS Besides, those BN's were a gift and i'm glad they are somewhere they are being looked after! with me they were just dying off and eating each other coz the betta fry kept eating all their food the little piglets!

darennkj Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hey Cass, He's a great looking boy!!! Wow! You must be very happy to get it off Manda Good old barter system... Daren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasfire Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yeah I was stoked. She had 3 or 4 identical to him and kept a pair for herself and tells me now that she was going to offer me my choice from the fry she has so my manipulation was not necessary lmfao. Good thing I'm no good at mind games or manipulation, and know this so I don't try too often hahaha I'm hoping he gets his act together today and attempts to wrap the female again. She's bulging at the sides and all stripy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anasfire Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Here's a video of EJ, attempting to spawn with a copper female I have. He failed! He's had 2 tries with her, she's so full of eggs she's bulging out the sides! Please excuse the blurriness of the video. I left the camera on them and walked away to give them some privacy lol. I edited the 11min long vid so you only see their failed wrappings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
