Officially excited

[Eddie]

So.....I have had my Heckel Cross without a mate for a long time. He is a HUGE bully and will beat the pi$$ out of every fish in every tank. I once tried to force pair him with my female Blue Scorpion but he beat her down bad. Anyways, its been several months and I figured what the hell, I'll try her again since the Heckel Cross has been in isolation for being a bully. Immediately they hit it off and she is fighting back. Now they are dancing and fanning so I'm pretty excited. She is bigger than him and can drop an army of eggs. Keeping my fingers crossed! Woo-hoo!!!!

At last some nice activities lol
best of luck man!

[Jennie]

congrads Eddie!:bounce:

[Eddie]

Yeah we'll see once they spawn. I'm just happy they are going through the motions. I havent been able to pair the heckel cross with any females so this is definitely a step in a nice direction. If these 2 hit if off and carry fry, I'll be floored! ;)

[vera]

Yeah , time to put champagne on ice lol

[Eddie]

Yeah , time to get shampain on ice lol

Oh, will be a perfect time for that! ;)

Best wishes

Hell yes! Its the same cross as my very first successful spawn. It was the heckel cross and a blue scorpion (sibling to this one). And I kick myself to this day because I didn't raise them the right way. Only a few turned out nice but now maybe I'll have my chance to redeem myself....to myself. ;)

Your tanks always look spotless. Do you clean them before taking pics or are they always squeeky clean?

[PAR23]

Lets be real Eddie, few months of isolation, bet he'll be a real gentleman with her! ;);)

Moon, he stole a secret goverment formula, fish are basically floating in extremly wet air. Something about extreme atomization of molecules!!!:p

We'll see Ed, he has really had me frustrated with his temper. LOL It's just nice to see the female not putting up with it. I was actually looking into buying a few LARGE females from T-AQUA for him since he needs to get a$$ straightened out. :D


WOW good luck with those , thats a beautiful pair!

Thanks

Take care folks!

Good luck with them Eddie! All they need now is a cone :D to put those anticipated eggs on! Beautiful discus!
Barb

[joanr]

He does look like a big bully, but the BS female looks just as fearsome with those wicked red eyes. They are a good match for sure! Hope to see little ones in the near future.

LOL, very true Barb! Believe it or not, all other cones are spoken for by other pairs! :o I might need to get a few more. ;)

Yeah, she is a toughy. He could still take her but he is being a little lovey dovey now, maybe because I've had him in isolation. :D
