Zahn Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hi,....think I need help. I have 1 green Severum (female I think) that has laid eggs on the inside of her cave. Most of the eggs are a brownish colour but a few are white, I thought brown meant they were fertilized ... But she's in there on her own. Any ideas about what's going on? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketman Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 what else is in there with her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahn Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Nothing she's in a tank on her own, I've been looking for a friend for her but haven't found one yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketman Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 ooo kay.... How long have you had her? You'll find that maybe she has developed a behaviouralism, if she has bred before? The eggs obviously won't be fertile, they will all turn fungusy soon enough. Interesting trait though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahn Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hmm very interesting, only had her for a month or so I wish I had a male, any one have one they want to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas about what's going on? Thanks I think your parents should have explained this to you a long time ago, but here it goes... When a bird and a bee really love each other they find some flowers and make little bees. But when when a bee is alone and doesn't have anything better to do he'll grab a national geographic, flip to the article with half naked africanized honeybees and find somewhere private. Does it all make sense now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 There are reports of increasing incidences of inter-sex fish due to contamination of the environment with artificial oestrogens. And some fish apparently can self fertilize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 theres a type of molly that is only female and requires fertilization from another species to breed.... p.s. once owned a couple of lesbian gold severums, only got spawn off them by adding a male with a partition next to the nest site... its the little tricks that the birds and bees never explained that are the most useful =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
