Okay so here are my breeding pair! They are already conditioned and I will be placing her in his tank (separate). Hopefully all things go well! Pictures of them will be below sorry i used my phone to take the pictures and the camera on it sucks. Apollo is the male and Calypso is the female!
She is now in the tank with him but, he flares at her and does everything else besides build a bubble nest and I put a half of the Styrofoam cup in there but he won't build one. It's like he want's to mate but he won't build the nest. Is there anything I can do?
You seem to like assuming people don't know what breeding entails. Especially regarding the amount of spawn. Why not simply say "anything crossed with ct other than ct usually produces messy fry i wouldn't advise this pairing".
Alas, I've tried that with new breeders. Now, Jaws, I know you aren't this rude, but I've met many people that are very snapish and get very angry easily, especially when you try to tell them something other than what they want to hear. I've gotten everything from "No, the fins will be pretty & there will only be 10 babies," to "NO! I *WILL* BREED THESE TWO, I JUST WANT THE MONEY!" I've learned to tell it like it is. Jaws hasn't talked much about spawning, so I assumed that s/he hadn't done much research, just like most of the new people.
They do produce slightly messy fry the first run but f2 if you choose well can really pull a line together, you just have to be careful. This came from a breeder here, although i can't quote who
Such is the world of genetics! You'll rarely ever be able to accurately guess your spawn!
The magic of genes is that nearly anyhing can be acheived if given careful thought.
