Lets see YOUR home bred Fish !!!!!
Hi all,
I have seen some really awesome Wild fish pics posted lately, and theres so much international trading going on these days as well, that we certainly don't have a sparsity of beautiful Domestics and Imported Fish out there to chose from and add to our collections. Buying fish of all different colors and patterns has become the norm. I think this is all really great for the hobby, But what I'd really like to see is Some pics of Fish that You all have Bred yourselves.
What do you all do with the fry... sell them all? keep a few for growouts? and future breeders. If you have pics of fish you bred...I'd love to see pictures...of the fry to adults. Or just the adults. I don't care what the strain is... I Just would like to see The pride and joy of everyones breeding endeavors here.
For me... to see them go from egg to adult and possibly be bred is the most fulfilling part of the hobby. These fish tend to be my favorites.. even if they are not as good as others I have bought .
How about you all?

Okay I'll get the ball rolling.. I'm a discus pack rat. I try to keep some fry from any CROSSES I make for grow outs.
I know these are not the best Discus out there, You can buy far better anywhere.. but when I look in the tank... They are Mine. Its a nice feeling.

Re:Lets see YOUR home bred Fish !!!!!
they look great.
I havent got adult grown out home raised fish yet. do 3 inch count?
But...think that that is what being a discus hobbyist and breeder is all about. raising your own fish and being proud of the accomplishment .
I know theres more out there who have fish they've raised.
Cary...where are you..i bet you have a few fish you have raised from eggs out there you can be proud of. and i bet you will have a few of those at the ACA this week.
Ok come on guys.where are you all.

Re:Lets see YOUR home bred Fish !!!!!
Jimmy, Jimmy! Stop! You cant post your pics and then tell me that you cant ship to Alberta! It should be a crime! 8)
Wow! Excellant fish! I would really, really love to get some! ;)

Re:Lets see YOUR home bred Fish !!!!!
I would really love to see the bulldog look in person. I think I like them but pictures are so deceiving. So where in toronto do you live Jimmy?
My family and I use to do that roadtrip to toronto all the time. 10 hour+. Hmmm sounds like time to restart that tradition.

Henry: Come to the SARS concert. on July 30th. Featuring the ROLLING STONES and a line of Rock Groups will last till the next day. 3 times as big as Woodstock. Where is the Guess Who?.I wonder. It's very nice of the Stones to take a break for their Europeon Tour and come to Toronto to do a free Concert to help out the hospitality workers and give a boost to our dying Economy caused by SARS. 60,000 Americans are comming. But unfortunately, you can't see the Bulldogs. A Japanese collector bought all 46 of them and left for Japan last Friday.

Re:Lets see YOUR home bred Fish !!!!!
Cool Jimmy.....and did you help bag them and add oxygen to those fish? and put them in a styro...for the nice japanese collector? gee...sounds like your all practised up. ; )

Re:Lets see YOUR home bred Fish !!!!!
A local Angels and Guppiesfish breeder came with his own net, bags, medication and a tank of oxygen, took all the fish and ship them over. I don't know how to ship. too much work for me. I rather ship them to my rose bed if I have to.

Jimmy, Jimmy! LOL! How can you do this to me? >:( Show off extremely beautiful fish then tell us you dont know how to ship? Im sure that there must be someone in Toronto that knows how! How about Jim Shedden or John Khuu? ;D
(John sent me fish last fall btw. I dont know if you know him or not) ;)
