Title: Breeding again...
Post by: Super Turtleman on March 23, 2012, 03:54:11 PM
Well, even though technically I'm not ready to start breeding again I find myself with several batches of fry and expectant mothers I've already separated for ease of stripping. Lol. Is there no cure for this madness???

Best part of having fish, Is to get them to breed.  Their way of saying your doing a good job.

If your having difficulties a last ditch effort that usually works for me is Tequila.  Works like a charm!

The 125g just "Appeared" out of the blue..??..some folks are SO fortunate. Perhaps by "Transporter Beam" from The Starship Enterprise.  8)

Those in the video are from my breeding group of 1M 7F. Thinking I might add a few more males and females to the group to increase production. 1 guy has to get tired out eventually. Lol.

But that is the first time I've kept fry long enough for them to start breeding for me. Lol.

Tanks spontaneously generate when left unattended.  It's a fact.  I saw it on the internet so it has to be true. 

It would be safe to observe that the majority of us have had new tanks just "show up" out of nowhere.

If you are fortunate to have a supportive wife, as you have, you are a lucky man indeed.

Here's a little video of everything I have growing out right now. In a couple of nurseries I have some species mixed together. Got a shipment of fish and he mixed stuff up so I'm guessing what's what and growing out to confirm. Lol.

Wow Emil, you have a nice setup going there.  You're going to need some more tanks for your fish room soon.
