Title: Water Changes All Done...except....
Post by: wsantia1 on November 29, 2015, 05:37:44 PM
....for 1 tank. as I started the water changes the Plat PS pair decided they wanted to spawn so I bypassed their tank. As soon as I finished and put all of the maintenance stuff away I looked in the tank again and they were polishing off the last of the eggs. huh

That's it they are getting a divorce tomorrow. I will remove the female and put her into a breeding tank with a seasoned Plat male. These will give me 50% PS but there is a market out here for them. .!!.

Sorry, Willie huh

Nothing to apologize for Liz. You did warn me about him. lol.  mim It's too bad because he is such a nice looking male. I did pull two of their spawns but all of the eggs turned white.

My other guy is a seasoned parent raiser so let's hope he hasn't lost his touch. He is HET PS so I'll get at least 50% PS. |^| |^| |^|

My LFS manager is desperate for some variety and I need to be able to give it to him. w!w

I had gotten disgusted with them.  Sometimes fish do better for other people.  In this case the male is a total moron asshole.  He'll be that way forever, I guess.  He's had enough chances...Shame since he's such a nice fish.

I am a little late but I finally divorced the Plat PS Pair. I put the female from the pair in with my Plat male and they are swimming like thy have been together their whole lives. They will get one shot at raising together. If they don't the following spawn will be mine. huh

You're right. I am going to need them pretty soon. I've been bulking that female up for a while now. She always lays a ton of eggs too. |^| |^| |^|
