Spawning now....finally!

[Ron Sower]

I have a trio of angels that are from Aron's stock he sold to Aquariun Co-op. I've had them since they were nickel size I guess. 2 of them have paired off finally. She's been plump for couple weeks and they have been chasing the 3rd one. There hasn't been much cleaning. We'll see how they do with a bunch of corys and 3 rams in there with them. I don't plan to try to raise the fry.

...they'll do fine..........more tanks, more tanks.....tell the Mrs that you can't just let them die, right?...plus not much traveling in the winter months....soooo....you can take care of them.....if you're lucky there will only be a few thousand. hundred..

I say go for it!  Tell your wife to get her own hobby and let you do as you choose with yours.

There's nothing like seeing a tank full of angel fry. Good luck with them. What kind of angels are they? Any pics?

[Ron Sower]

Let's see if these quicky photos can help you identify what types these babies are. Notice that above and behind the eye there is a black marking. Anyone know what that is? Aron, if you pop in here, do you have that in any of your other lines? These parents are siblings.

Looks like I reduced the photos too much. Hang in there with me. I'll eventually get this down.  I'll resize them and post them again!

Effort #2

Hmmmm! nt much better... Any suggestions on using the Razor program? Last time seemed so simple.

Effort #3 - no resizing...

I use the 'med' and two pics per post...works fine

Hard to see on those.....looks like silvers, but could be from a wild cross....??...a little bigger might help...

[Ron Sower]

Let's see how this works. Thanks for helping!

[Mugwump]

Much better...they look like silvers.....but some 'wild' blood in there too...I wonder if Aron did some wild crosses....definitely raised under lowered light conditions...They're beautiful...

[LizStreithorst]

That's what I thought.  Isn't the black spot behind the eye and the small spots on the body an indication of wild blood?

That's what I thought.  Isn't the black spot behind the eye and the small spots on the body an indication of wild blood?

These must have F?? wilds, or wild crosses....I'm thinking Rio Negro with the face shape.....Peruvians have a flatter face...and the Manacapuru/Sta Isabel's don't carry the pronounced spot.....
Aron will know......if from Pete originally....Rio Negros...

[LizStreithorst]

I'd like to know, too.  I have the eye spot and the little spots on the bodies of most but not all of my HBs.  It's something that I don't want to loose, but if I concentrate on stripeless I will kiss it goodbye, right?
