After two weeks of conditioning, he's finally in the breeding tank.
Once he's satisfied with his nest and both male and female are showing signs of readiness, then she'll be released. I can't wait.
So pretty Indigo said Magic my veiltail I was going to breed didn't look like a veiltail so I don't know if the veiltail I was going to breed is a veil tail lol
Magic kind of look like a delta tail. Since the delta tail carry the veiltail gene, which is super dominant, you'll have 100% veiltail fry if you breed him to a female veiltail.
It's been two days and still no bubble nest but they both were showing signs of readiness. She was swimming with her head pointing downward and he was doing the "S" thing with his body so I decided to release her.
It's so funny because I have a cave in there for her as a hiding place and he's playing peek-a-boo with her.
I released her again on Monday night, Sept 24. It's been three days and nothing's happening. He even stopped making the nest. Maybe they're just not meant to be a breeding pair. I'll give them a few more days before I take them out and recondition them. It's like he's not even trying to impress her.
Hi VanBoy, I am sorry to hear about your spawn not going as planned. I know it must be very disappointing. I am about 5 days away from my pair going into the spawn tank and I am hoping it goes ok. Good luck, I hope things go ok for you in the next few days.
He still don't have a nest and today he was trying to kill her!
I guessed they don't like each other and I took them out a few minutes ago. Sunkist looks like he is ready due to the size of the nest he made in his bowl. I thought he deserves another chance so now he's in the breeding tank already building a nest. I'll try to breed Flash again later with an orange female if I find one.
I like how intense Sunkist's color became since the day I got him. He used to be orange but he's more red now.
For known aggressive/vicious males, it's best to keep female in a chimney or what ever that has holes so they can sense each other. First timers for 3 days, veterans 1 day.
