fishboi Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks for the advice ur very welcome recently i've not been posting as much as i get the feeling ppl ask questions for the sake of asking questions with no attention to put it in practice so this is a real boost.

ducati Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 well your advice was well received and put into practice. Do you know much about colour inheritance? This breeding was orange male with redcap female Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU1 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Congrats ducati, fishboi, if you are talking about me I have been unsuccessful breeding them out of season, as the weather is now warming up, I have began to recondition them and breed them in season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 no wasnt talking about u IOU1 was just moaning about the forum in general. ducati, i am afraid its not that simple as u would need to know the back ground of each fish eg color of their parents, their grandparents.....etc and even then u cant be 100% assuming both are good genetic line breed u'll have most of them red and red/white and if ur lucky some redcap and pure whites. on the other end of the scale, if they were from a very bad line u will get mostly bronze fantails. of cause they will all start out browny color, feeding of carotene and exposure to sun light will help with the process.

ducati Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 thanks for that. Will keep you posted as to progress from hereon in. I think these are good genetic lines but only time will tell. Its a numbers game really I guess. Rest assured your advice does not go unheeded. Thinking ahead - bbs the best food for fry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 yep bbs is the best but they wont take it till around 2 days after hatching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducati Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Have a lot of fry. I have them in a heated container of about 30L. Have a sponge filter and feeding bbs. When should I move them to a bigger container and how big should it ideally be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 after 2 weeks start culling the single tail and only keep the fan tail. That way you have a better chance of raising them instead of trying to keep all of them and get them stunted. Watch out for flukes too. You'll know when the frys start dying or become inactive. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 They often grow at different rates and it is the fancy ones that are often the smallest. If you seperate them by size the smaller ones will be less likely to become tucker for the ugly ones. You need to do this when the big ones can eat the little ones.
