Adrienne Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi Ron the bottom pic of the male tending the nest, what type is he, what is his colour called and what type/colour female have you used.

The fry are looking good!! Copper and the female is the same too. I'm only breeding true strain at the moment and not crossing them. Trying to keep some of the true strain I got in. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discusguru Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Well, big set back in the breeding program. Lost all the red crowntail and copper red crowntail frys tonight . Cross contaminations and dosage of medication kill them all :evil: . Very sad cos they were growing so well and some were as big as 15mm and showing good red colours. :oops: Will clean all their tanks up tomorrow and start all over again. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discusguru Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 the only 2 that survived ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 At least you have one nice red male to replace the father. Is the second one a copper or red and I'm assuming from the look of it its female? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yes, it's a male and a female. That small and they already have good crowning. Both are the red crowntail. Looks like my future breeder. None of the copper baby survive. Lost the second batch of them yesterday while moving them and rearranging the tanks to create more space. Don't know what they came down with. Will just have to keep trying. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 might it be a genetic thing? I know I am really struggling with my ct male and ct female to have a successful spawn - he dumps the eggs on the ground or eats them so I am assuming they are not fertile.

Discusguru Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Don't think so, left about 8 in the original 4 ltrs breeding tank and they're doing fine and growing well. They are the 8 I couldn't catch when I was moving about 250 frys to a bigger tank so I left them there. All three attempts hatch out heaps. It alway happen when I move them. Must be the different water parameter in the bigger tank. This time i'm going to breed them in a bigger tank and not move them to see what happen. Only if I can find a space for the tank. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discusguru Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Depend on how often you feed them and waterchange when feeding bbs. When they hatch they are so tiny so I just pour some green water in. I start feeding bbs in the second week and JBL grano Mini after one month. Don't feed flakes cos they pollute water quicker if uneaten and not removed. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discusguru Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 would microworms be small enough as a first food? Not for the first week. Infusoria in the green water will be fine. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
