I'm literally starting to vibrate with excitement :lol: I've got almost everything ready to spawn. I picked up a cracked 10 gallon for $5 at a thrift store that I'm going to glue up. I'm about to leave to pick up a 29 gallon that I'm getting off craigslist for $25. I've got some hornwort and I'm ordering a LOT of java moss. And of course I have Sid and Nancy!
All I really need is jars (which I'm still deciding on), a couple heaters, stuff to DIY a sponge filter, and fry food cultures.
I've been reading and planning and learning how to breed for almost 2 years now.. I'm so ready to give it a try!
I want to keep at least one male from the spawn and maybe 2 females. I'm getting first pick and I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll get at least one male that looks like Daddy (who will be living with my Mom after the breeding :-(.. he is her fish after all).
I wish I could put everything together and start the spawn tomorrow! But I need to get some food cultures going. I think I'm going to do BBS, microworms, and white worms. Still not sure yet.
LOL I feel like a kid during the weeks prior to Christmas!!:lol:
