Yeah I thought so, would be hard to breed tails types wanted if it wasnt genetic. She still wont drop her eggs im getting kinda worried about her. Shes been holding for over a month now, Im not feeding her either, but she does pick up scraps, not alot though. I really dont want her to become egg bound, shes my sweety. Would constant contact with me be causing her to hold? She bands up when Im near, maybe we're too close lol.

take her for a ride on a motorbike

that has been known to induce labour :wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If it's been a few days, try separating them from other fish then condtion them again, re-introduce male, female in bottle ect ect

Im guessing your girl is either a single tail (HM/DT/SDT genes) or a veiltail.... probably a single tail

Her tail type doesn't matter, her genes do.

Her tail type genes do matter, so her tail type matters if you got her from an unknown source also VT genes are dominant over other tail types...

Let me reword that.

What her tail looks like doesn't matter because females don't show their lineage/genetics as well as males. It is more reliable to know her genes if you would like to breed her. Same with guppies, the female might look dull but her offspring might get their colourful tails from her because it's in her genes.

So shes been away from him for 3 or 4 days now, so your saying reintroduction might cause her to drop them?

Only time Ive seen her drop them was when she was with him. So it might be the way.

Hows it going? :D

I've now a second spawn of ct free swimming. Between the two spawns at this stage there are between 300 - 400 fry. Word of warning. If you are going to breed are you prepared for this many. Survival rate in my tanks is normally about 95%.

I do still however have one set of fighters mustard gas hmpks that have not spawned. She is not remotely interested despite the nest being about 25cm in size!
