Royal x Steel

[beat2020]

Well I currently have a royal/steel pair in the spawning tank. Set up is the same as my last spawn; 2g tub,java moss,and IAL. I plan to move the fry either to a 5g tub or 13g tub at 1 week old depending on how I have. Here's the pair...





I should get blues(royal and maybe some steel),greens,multis,butterflies,and marbles out of this spawn.I really like this pair. They have great finnage even at such a young age and they both have one of my favorite traits, which is a white streak in the anal. I put the pair in the spawning tank this morning and they've been chasing and nipping all day. Hopefully they'll be a nest by tomorrow and I'll have a spawn by Tuesday.

Good luck! I wonder if you'll get any melano

Your forcing me to bid on one of her marble males now.

Thanks. :)

About the melano,I don't think so...This pair came from a blue import, multi cross.

*Cough* http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/aucti...shm&1302546602 ;)

Haha.. I actually just bid on this pretty boy http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/aucti...shm&1302541806. I really love his grizzly look. Also asked about a lady friend for him.

Very nice choice...That whole spawn is amazing. I didn't know who to choose yesterday lol.

I'm so jealous you actually get to see them in person :-p. I'm pretty sure the grizzly boy is one she posted pictures of a while ago.. I remember because he looks similar to the tie-dye boy I wanted but didn't get. I really like his form... he's built like a brick house.

BTW.. how are my kids doing? The one female I kept is growing like a weed and I even saw her bar up yesterday when she saw one of my males.

OK.. I'll quit spamming so we can get back to the spawn in progress LOL

[beat2020]

Your kids are doing great! They've certainly grown since they got here...

About the spawn, I just came back from putting the female back in the water. This is the second times she's jumped and landed on top of the IAL lol.

[1fish2fish]

I'm glad :)

The same thing happened with my last spawn attempt. The female kept landing on the IAL. I'd leave her there for a while but then I'd get scared she was going to get too dry so I dipped her back in.

[beat2020]

Well the blue female got beat up so I took her out and put in my green multi in there and they are starting to spawn right now. :D
I should get multis and marbles out of this spawn...

Here's the female I'm talking about...

Congrats! I was just wondering how it was going. Maybe the blue girl needs a little time to grow up. I'm glad you got a spawn from the red girl though.. you haven't had one with her yet right?

I'm probably going to wait a while to spawn my guys from this spawn. I want to make sure they're good and ready.
