alanmin4304 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I have posted and given eggs which got driven round the country but none hatched even when they had eyed up. Put them in water with a little meth blue but no good. Barrie sent me some ausrale gold eggs and so far this morning I have removed over a dozen fry. He put his in peat. I have hatched them before from peat and it does seem the way to go. Of course Wok would be the exception. He turned up with a coke bottle half full of water with eggs and I got a 100% hatch. I will try and return the favour by sending some eggs in peat and see if I can get it right finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Doesn't it always seem I am the exception to the rule? :roll: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 just put the albinos down this morning so should have those in the post on monday as well. good to see they hatched, I think there were around 20 eggs but some may need a few more days. The Albinos are almost impossible to see at the best of times so it will be interesting to see how you find them against the peat. Whats next?

Barrie Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Alan I have had an unusual one appare with my male Australi Golds... The tail has quite a lot of brown but on this one its almost non existant.... a throw back to something or maybe just a mutations Im not sure but I will try to breed from it and see if I can breed brownless Golds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I think there was a post here a while ago where someone had one that was also different and they were trying to establish that. Haven't heard anything since. Someone may recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I think it may have been a gold australe with no spots--- could have been the other Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Ive eard from Tim and he mentioned that AlanW's were apricot in colour so may be a bit different again... may pay to keep an eye on yours. I plan on moving it from my "community" tank inside to the breeding tanks. He will replace his "ol man" Will see what he throws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Thanks, will keep a close eye out. No more this morning but have enough to get going again. Many thanks. Don't forget the sisters from that batch could be carrying the gene also and interbreeding might increase your chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
