[nicholas76]

Hi everyone,

These two were shivering 30 minutes after being put into there new home.

[nicholas76]

he is settling in nicely. He was rather pale but is slowly gettinsg some colour !


just love the red eyes

[nicholas76]

i love her shape and colour design

[Merrilyn]

Sweeeet fish Nick. Congratulations! Love that round shape :wink:

[flukes]

So you found the egg crate?

[Proteus]

Very nice shapes pair...

well done

[nicholas76]

Thanks

yeah I had to ask several people in bunnings and found a box they were using to construct a lighting display. $5 dollars a sheet mate!.


back to the fish - they are cleanning heavily now and are concentrating on two key areas.


update you with egg photos shortly ( i hope )

[Mattzilla]

nice looking pair....good luck with them

[nicholas76]

JACK POT

3 days after getting them and they have spawned the biggest amount of eggs i have ever seen in my life.

the cone is wrapped in eggs , unreall!!!!!!!!!!!1

Though I'm not a fan of the Pigeon type fish..... have to say these are some clean fish. Crossed with Goldens? Good shape, nice eyes.

[Merrilyn]

Great news Nick - they are such pretty fish. BTW hate to steal your thunder but the new pair u got for me are also spawning now! Maybe our kids can play together when they grow up :lol:

[flukes]

Not a fan of pigeons :shock: :? :evil:

[kevkoi]

Hate random black dots.... :cry:

[Merrilyn]

I've seen this pair in the flesh - not a black dot in sight to spoil that beautiful shape :wink:

Nick recon you'll need at least 4 more tanks to hold all those fry :P

[nicholas76]

NOT ONE black dot on these fish which makes them even more special to me.

yeah your right merris, they still have them which is awsum

[discusnut]

[Merrilyn]

F A N T A S T I C - congratulations Nick you're a father ....eeer I mean a grandfather .......eeer I mean an uncle.......no....... I mean a Fish Breeder!!!!!!! Pics please! :D

[nicholas76]

THANKS Lady RED

hehe no photos yet!


cant take any chances. This is the first time ive had a new pair keep there first spawn with me. Once they become competent swimmers and feed off the parents no probs!!

NIck

[nicholas76]

just a quick post.


I have a very large group of fry now.

happily free swimming and attached to the parents. Interestingly the fry have no problem attaching to the parents despite the female being almost solid white in colour.


Ill post pics in due course.

Regards

Nick

[kalebjarrod]

Sensational

guess after all the valuable help we all have given we will be reciving or cut of the fry,

i Pm you with my address LOL

good work Nic

hanging on every post now to see some pics.............................

[ahsan]

hi nick ,
your disucs have really great shape , as soon as you think they have settled , v would like to see some more pics with the fry on thier back :)

[nicholas76]

gday all


i will post pics up shortly.

i firstly need to obtain a camera which has zoom. I cant focus this one at all. The best i can do is this crappy shoot which makes my adult look wierd in shape, however you can make out some of the fry flying about.


these two have already started courting again and i think they will spawn whilst nursing these fry.


Interesting times ahead

[weird]

Wonderful news Nick. Love the wigglers.

[ml29]

Congrads on the fry. Are you going to let the parents look after the fry?

[kalebjarrod]

thats the reason i love discus

careing for thier young
