Bluecan Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well my Short BOdy Texas Pair bred, didnt change into stress/breeding dress so it took me a while to notice the eggs, it was their first go at it so i figured the eggs wouldnt be fertilized , had to seperate them and suprisingly they are now hatching into wigglers, cant get pics of the wigglers my cam's not good enough, but u can see the pair and the eggs on the rock and ill update as things progress (if i can keep them alive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

African_Fever Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Congrats on the spawn. Funny how a fish that would've been a cull a few years ago is now considered a viable variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecan Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) thanks for the comments, and yes it is kind of funny/interesting, and obviously views vary greatly on the 'viable variant' issue. From what ive read though and others who have bred short body's there may not be a lot (if any) short body's from the spawn. I would like them, but I would also be ok with some standard sized offspring as these have the larger pearls that i like and are harder to come by, the female's pearls are better than the males just hard to get a good pic of her as she is so shy. Regardless im happy with my first breeding and hopefully i can grow them out... Edited January 14, 2010 by Bluecan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
