'HE' spawns

Frank gave me some 'HE' veils to go with my std fins. I put them all in a 110gal. Now it seems that 'someone' has spawned on one of the sponge lift tubes and it looks like another is going to spawn soon on a slate at one end. Right now things are...shall we say, turbulent....now to find out who's with who....looks like a group grope at the moment....sheesh..

ps...'HE'....'het everything'....

Yup. I had to do a lot of water changes for the power outage thing and it kicked my young breeders into breeding mode. I have three pairs of the het hb pb's now. I have 4 fish that are true and proper Hb's in the group Two are most likely ladies and two boys. I can't wait for a spawn from those 4. They are all by themselves in a 120 so they don't get caught up in the power outage BS.
I have 100 fish tanks, but two pairs of shoes. The latter is proof that I am still relatively sane. The question is...relative to what?

Here's vid while standing back a bit....

Quite the group .... a who's who of angels.  ;D

One dose Hb, one pb, one A, one blush. Hoping that when they pair up that they will be at least 25% hb/hb s/s, Half black silver,10% Hb/hb pb/pb, Half black pinoy, Hb blush, Hb blush pinoy, Hb/hb pb/pb s/-, Half black ghost or cobalt, Half black albino= 1 in 15 million chance to have just one. Those look really well shaped out. The father was a Gibbs Pb Pb A A  so they have that chunky Gibbs face and head shape. I have another group of around 20 out of  400 or so that I kept from the next batch that express the half black almost perfectly as Hb ghost pb. Those are around dime to nickel in size. The back up plan. If all goes well we might be sort of popular Jon.

So far no casualties....I'll let the first spawn ride, I like the pairs to bond, and get the protective juices flowing. Yep, Frank.....there will be some jewels, after all is sorted out...a fun ride for sure...

I have the Turqs, the velvets, the blushers in Hb coming up too. He he. Veil albino ghosts, veil albino pearls, blue marble veils. I'm about to go nuts though because they hit a water main while coring in the new power pole. Holy smokes I hope my battery keeps power going to my air pump for a few hours. I have an inverter and a full tank of gas in my truck.

The Turq is Hb het. 1/2 bro sis to the HE's. I'm dying here crossing my eyes ears fingers and toes that my guys pop colors. I've been reading the pronto thread, I was getting a bit worried my kids would miss their timing, c'mon kids make me a happy boy. I'll build you fishy kids a central room that the fish gods will envy.

Boom, three pairs spawned today. One pair full half black Pb/- expressing veils. All three spawns in their own each 2.5 gallon.
