Female intimidated but wants to breed

[ChelseaK]

I agree that mistakes are going to help you learn, but really listen to everyone on the forum here. I took everyone's advice and made sure my fish were ready and healthy before breeding and I had a successful breeding my first time! (Except for the fact that it turned out the male was an egg eater :( ) But again, listen to all the advice from the experienced breeders on the forum. No one means to attack you but it can get frustrating to read keep coming across posts about problems when that person has been told multiple times exactly what to do.

can i condition her while she is in the hurricane glass? and spawning doesn't take place in like 5 minutes time after you release the female right? it usually take 3 days for them together in the tank right?

Lol I was so scared w my first spawn. I removed the female after a tiny bit of nipping haha. I always prefer the better safe than sorry thing! One of these times they will spawn within a few hrs, so there's no need to push their limits right off the bat :)

Just the fact that you are asking this just goes to show how unready you are.

Again, DO NOT PUT HER BACK IN TOMORROW.

And also, that picture does not accurately portray what she should look like if she is ready to breed. It was really obvious when my female was ready, her stripes were very prominent.

i got my fish from elmo8081 or something, his name is Roy, he is very nice.

My mistake about the breeder, then.

Still on my bad list. People make mistakes...I have but not many...you are just being stubborn.

Please don't put her back in tomorrow! You don't know what you are doing, you don't even have the live food ready for the fry yet.

I still say OP is a troll. =/
