BikBok Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 usually means killing selectively .. but you can cull by just giving away the rejects if you don't actually want to kill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 And to put deformed/suffering fish out of their misery, it's not as cruel as it seems usually. Without it many of today's man made strains of fish wouldn't be here and there'd be a lot more deformed fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 as above yes its a noob Q but every one who tells me breeding info always mentions the word cull :3 I've heard people who need to be removed from the gene pool before they breed described as "Culls" too.

Joshlikesfish Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Cull the bung one. My "bung" one is one of my favorites. So much personality. Only thing wrong with him is that he's lazy. He has is xmas moss bean bag though, which makes him happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Swims good enough to eat, get air, have fights etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 A lot of adult males with long fins do that. The long fins and tail make it hard for the fish to remain upright, particularly in currents. The fish looks perfectly healthy to me and most people with multiple males will have a least one that lies over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Oh i'm sorry, i've never seen one before. all ours swim fine. Hence I thought it was bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 That's because i'm elite ha ha ha! Actually it's because I have a thing for crowntails and I want to try and improve the fins on the ones we get here. It's looking promising atm. My babies have nicely formed fins right now so i'm crossing my fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
