Some current pairs & frys pics

[Kenny's Discus]

I did see the BD male making his runs but eggs disappeared a couple days later. They need more practice I think.

Hey Cliff thanks for dropping by...long time no see where have you been? I need to pay you a visit some time remember? So nice to see the artificial breeding master here!!!

I'll get in touch with you later Cliff. You have a nice day friend!

Thanks,
Kenny

oh I forgot to show this pic - whenever I'm breeding light color strains like whites & reds I always lower the water level b4 the frys freeswim...but I'm sure most of you knew that already.

IME breeding blue, green and brown strains are so much easier because the parents can become so much darker than say red, white or yellow strains. JMO of course.

another pair working on it.

the male looks kinda nice.

[Kenny's Discus]

I just netted this guy out and put him(yes it's a male) in another tank since I might need his service soon with another leopard snakeskin female.

During the time I was posting these pics the Snowfire x BD pair laid another batch of eggs...they are definitely 1 of my most consistent pairs.

the male looks like he was ready to "kill" me when I was focusing in on them with my camera lol.

Can 1 of the moderators please move this thread to the gallery section? I just realized I might have posted it in the wrong section.

Thanks in advance,

amazing fish/ pictures.

Its also very imformative to me because i have two pairs the minute, 0ne of the younger haves lay every four days or so but lose interest after 24 to 48 hours and a pair i have just bought spawned in my new show tank, they were to hatch soon but the eggs have disapeared.

its nice to know that this happens to every pair and not just mine, as im waiting on my first wrigglers!!!

thanks chris

Chris - thanks and for 1st timers/young pairs it is very normal for them to eat their first few spawns. I'm not saying it's impossible to get frys from their first spawn but it's quite rare IME. If those pairs are currently in your community tank I'd keep letting them spawn(with other fish' presence will strengthen their parental instinct) until I see wigglers, after which I'll put them in their own tank.

Best of luck to yours and pls update us on them.

Take care Chris.

Wow! How many pairs do u have Kenny?? They all look so lovely.........someday......

[Kenny's Discus]

Hi Luderule - thank you and I don't know maybe like 10 pairs at the moment with new pairs forming.....I'm crazy you know lol.

Must be the full moon effect...another pair just done laying eggs an hr ago. Haven't gotten any wigglers from this pair(2nd time) so wish me luck.
