Guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Didn't know where to post this so I just posted it here I just wanted to know what everyones favourite fish to breed was it could be that you liked it or that you enjoyed making your own colour strains from it or because they were easy to breed and you got large numbers of them and they were hardy so you raised them all to adult hood or it could just have been your first fish you bred and enjoyed the thrill.

OscarBoy Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I have only breed axies but that was all right, even though after they breed i ahd to put the parents in differnt tanks (not together or with the eggs) because the male was eating the feamles tale and then i had the eggs in another tank.

Guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 you should just get some guppies or some other livebearer good fun when you get your first fry and it's easy to breed them and after a while you just pick the ones you want and start masking strains of them.

OscarBoy Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yup im growing convicts atm. So will hopefully have babies soon.(they are not in my big tank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yeah I'd like to breed a cichlid but don't have a spare tank at the moment but maybe one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchKiwiCowboy2 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 My first lot of babies were Tiger Barbs, I have just mated another couple and will hopefully have some more soon. I also tried to mate a pair of Neons, but that is typically me, I have to try the hardest ones first. Still waiting to see if that has been succesful.

paul_r Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 my fav fish to breed are of course my killies, its a toss up between my p82's and my albino garneri, because there is more involved than breeding guppies or platys etc. With livebearers you put male and female(s) together and wait till babys pop out, that generally it. Killies you pick the eggs, then store them and depending on what method method you use you can have fry hatching in 2 weeks. Its a nice suprise checking a tray of eggs and finding a whole bunch of fry They are also easy to breed, just require a little bit of effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Discus are probably the most rewarding, but A LOT of work to do properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Apistogrammes are great to breed, always funny seeing the male try and look after a couple of females. Discus are also great to breed with the fry eating of the sides of the parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
