After the death of Solus, I was devastated, took apart everything I've worked on with Ember and let her body reabsorb the remaining eggs (because Frankie did succeed in one thing: he did bully a few eggs out of her, but Ember ate them). I dumped out the water and forgot about breeding. But lately I've been feeling that itch again, especially after the coming of Draco. So introducing, No Name x Draco. I'm all for name suggestions at this point. She came with a "buddy", a CT female that reminded me too much of Nova for me to pass her by *sniffle*. SIP Nova...
I'm honestly not even starting to breed until spring when it warms up in my room. The water is kept at seventy-eight degrees for everybody, but it's too cold for /me/ to fiddle with water creatures. Maybe I'll do it in the dead of winter when the heat is up because my mom hates cold feet (muahahaha). And I don't want to just chuck No Name in. She's getting used to her tank and still trying to figure out if the water onion is friend or foe (don't hurt it, it's just a baby onion!). Amythyst (Nova's lookalike) seems to be getting along better with her plants.
So I'm reserving this log for when the heat gets turned on and I don't have to wear three pairs of socks on my feet and gloves on my hands to feed my fish (I don't, but it feels like I should). But I'll be updating it with pictures of them and will eventually (in a couple weeks/days if I'm impatient) introduce them with a divider. I got a new divided tank when Ember got fin melt and took over the hospital/conditioning tank. Poor baby)
To answer questions, yes, I'm aware of how large the spawn could possibly be. Yes, a hundred. Yes, I did my research. How much? I became obsessed. Yes, I know. Yes. Yes, and yes. No, I'm not keeping the female in there with the male. Yes, the babies have predetermined homes. Yes, food cultures are back to being offered in exchange for fry (friend loves Draco and wants me to call the female Dragoness. I have to admit, she does look like a dragon...they both do).
And no, Draco is not named after Draco Malfoy. Why do people keep saying that?
Bad picture of the pair, but you get the idea. I wanted to pair her with Chess due to Draco's extensive reduction in his anal and dorsal, but Chess has the same thing, just a lesser degree, and he's been biting his tail up *bonus picture of his current look below
No Name also seems incredibly big for a female. I've gotten females before and they've usually been small, but No Name appears to be in Jaws' boat. My brother and I joke that his ancestor was a giant, but she's just a big girl.
