Forced Pairs

[Eddie]

Great pics Eddie! Time out or jail time, hope it works for them! Love that cone! Best of luck with em,
Barb

Thanks Barb, they love the cones too!

Shape is fairly typical certainly of the older strains of domestic RSG, from memory they derive from wild RSG's and these tend to have a more pronounced forehead. Lovely rings on her too, but my experience is these most likely will not get passed on, at least in any great numbers.

Thanks Paul, thats what I assume too. Heard rings were hard to control and then throw an Albino in the mix, its gonna be a long shot. Lol Hell, these 2 might not even make the magic.

Should be a nice pairing with some potential. Good luck!

Thanks Kacey, thought you might like them, a little bit of spotted action.


Take care all!

Hope they settle in for you! That's a great idea of edging the fencing with airline, would work great for the edges of the light diffuser divider also, or at least a slightly larger dia. flexible tubing.
Eddie, your tank walls are so clean they are creating a glare in your pics!! LOL

LOL, sorry about the glare. I've seen the flexible tubing on the light diffusers before, figured I'd try the air line on the vinyl fencing. Its working great so far.

They look great how big are they?

Thanks, the male is around 5.5" or so, the female is small, around 5".


Take care,

Do the parents get frustrated with the cage around the cone?

Not too much Jenna, maybe a little but it keeps them from eating the eggs.


Thanks Barb! Them magic cones do it every time!

Eddie

[kitykatfunkiehat]

Yeah I know it keeps them from eating em but I feel like you could just see the frustration from them! I'd do the same thing, don't get me wrong..but the fish do have personality and it shows!

[athy]

have the eggs hatched yet?!?!

[Kao510]

Congrates on the eggs bro, hope they all hatch.

Congrates on the eggs bro, hope they all hatch.

Nope, I ended up scrapping the eggs since there were too many that were not fertilized. I guess I had the sponge running too hard. I've turned the flow down and the pair are at the cone again. Maybe another spawn in the few days.

can't wait for the next batch!
