    Default Batch 1 Blue Diamond x Dark Angel

    First the parents. Dark Angel Female x Blue Diamond Male, from the NADA show, originally fron Hans.



    These two lay eggs every 3 1/2 days. They are the same ones I have in currently in an artificial rearing setup (along with a few wigglers from a 2009 contest fish and one of my F1's).

    http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...periment/page3

    As these two are currently in a community tank, the wigglers are with foster parents, a Curipera x and another one of my f1's. they just began attaching yesterday and are almost 100% attached (you can still see a few stragglers huddeld in the corner if you look close).


    With foster dad:



    Caught in the act of a fry handoff:



    Pass complete, now with mom:



    Sorry about the low quality of pictures, still in the fragile stage and did not want to disturb the parents too much.

    Should be an interesting cross. That dark angel was all kinds of color in the sunlight at the show and yes, more for the contest. Rick, were you at the show. I do not recall meeting you?

    I'm so interested to compare these against the dark angel fry I'm raising Rick. Looks like they're doing fantastic so far my friend. Don't know if you saw but I picked up a dark angel female that seems to closely resemble your female in part (the extremely blue one). Should be very interesting to compare the two. Good to see more people jumping into the competition and best if luck with them Rick!

    Rick let me know if you want to sell some of these. I really want to see if these turn out like i think they will.

    Rick just went thru your other 'potential contest fish' threads in addition to this one - you've got some fascinating crosses/really nice pairs! really looking forward to seeing how all your little ones develop
