Wild Tefe F1 Juvies "Batch A"

[Second Hand Pat]

Hi, Pat. I have not had time to keep up lately. Your babies are growing up so nicely. I am happy for you that things are working out well. And now with a second batch...

So the numbers of discus don't count toward ag status??

Thanks Anik, but soon I will be up to four fry tanks then things really get interesting For ag status you have to produce food or fiber. I guess discus could be marketed as a pricey sushi

[TURQ64]

Have you looked into the prices they pay for fish destined for sushi in areas like Ventura,etc??....many more zero's than Discus prices......

[Second Hand Pat]

I haven't Gary but maybe a new market niche

[Darrell Ward]

Darrell, how much property do you have with the new place? So you are raising your own beef now? I have considering getting three calf's for three months out of the year in order to claim ag status (to lower property taxes). Sell two of the calf's and put the last in the freezer but with the horses just not quite enough property.

BTW there is another spawn. Wigglers are 14 days today. Same female, different male so there is a "Batch B" and agree that these F1 show LOTS of promise

I have about 3 acres in yard, and a little over 8 acres in pasture. There are 4 in the pasture right now. The grass is green and lush from the rains, and they really seem to be enjoying it. LOL! I haven't raised beef since I helped my dad as a kid, so I'm still kinda learning.

Cool! That female is a machine! I have some wild angels from Peru I got from John before the move that are growing well. Hope to get at least a pair from that group.

Darrell, wilds keeper and gentleman farmer Yup, the female is a machine. Ten or eleven spawns between mid January and now. I hope she stops now. Have fun with the cows and hope those angels breed for you

Thanks Kraig, I did not know that Tefe's were your favorite wild. Mine too.

These are my larger F1 Tefe juvies where some are coming up on 3 inches.



These are the runts left in the kiddie pool or the 40 breeder. A couple are nice and a couple have minor fin flaws.

Pat these look OUTSTANDING. Can't wait to see them as adults, you do plan on keeping some to grow up right??

Oh yes Matt, I totally am. These little guys are showing lots of promise. I have a little breeding experiment planned which I will talk about after the show.

Looking good Pat. Nice juvies can't wait to see how they color develop as their grow.
