October 24, 200916 yr comment_336747 Ok so tail type isnt transferred through Genes then? How is it transferred? it HAS to be. may not be her genes, but someone's genes gotta code for it. Report
October 24, 200916 yr Author comment_336749 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. Report
October 24, 200916 yr Author comment_336757 Anyone with any help on the eggboundness? I fuss over her far too much (much to my girlfriends disgust) but I really want only the best for her. Seems like shes been holding forever, my poor girl. Report

October 24, 200916 yr comment_336759 take her for a ride on a motorbike that has been known to induce labour :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... Report
October 24, 200916 yr comment_336773 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. Report

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. Report
October 25, 200916 yr comment_336923 Hows it going? 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! Report
