Title: breeding group of fish
Post by: t.willie on September 18, 2013, 11:35:29 PM

Hi I have a breeding group of Xmas fulus planned on taking to the Auction but my question is one of my females just startedholding a couple of days ago and I'm not sure if I should strip her or just bag her up the way she is? I plan on getting rid of Xmas fulus all together or else I would just strip her. What do you guy think?

bag her up separately and if she continues to hold the new owner may appreciate it

Yeah, you can bag her separately, but still auction them as one group.

When putting multiple bags together as a unit, I've found wrapping them to one another with 1-2 wraps of packaging tape works well.

This is what I plan to do with the groups I'm bringing to auction.

I planed on bringing them in different bags I was just wondering if I should leave her holding

Strip her and give me the eggs.

She'd probably be fine left alone.

If you're going to do it, I'd do it soon.
