Regular Member Prin44 Posted January 26, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Ok so I joined here last year but aload of "stuff" happened and I didnt get the time to post or anything.... But things have changed late last year and Iv got time to me again and Iv been signing in and coming on for a look every now and then... But anyways... Iv kept Golds for 17 years now and never had a spawn let alone the chance the get Fry, not for want of trying different things with them, lol.... I came down the other morning (17th) and the tank was absolutely covered in them from my Penny, my (short bodied) Orange Tele. I took a load out with the net, not really thinking anything would come of it. But 2 days later (19th) the 1st ones hatched and the rest were all done and hatched by the 21st. I must have about 80 odd Fry I really cant believe it, its well cool, lol. Oh and then today I came down and there is more but they are from my Ranchu who is not even near 2yo yet. Obviously no where near the amount of eggs from older Tele girl. These ones were just in the plants. I took one of the plants out and put it in the Fry tank. To see what happens with them, if anything. I know the Mums but in my tank other wise there was a Shubby, Blue Oranda, White (short bodied) Fantail that could be the Dads. The Shub went to my friends today. He has a pond that it can go in when it gets warmer. Edited January 26, 2013 by Prin44 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Prin44 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 16, 2013 Ahh I got up to a few more Eggs this morning!!. But that first lot that my big girl Tele' produced was by far in to its thousands and I had to help with the clean up. There wasnt that many this time, even though I know they must have already had their fill of them. They were still darting about and I could see a few eggs still but I just left them to it. I already have to do a major cull of the batch that I have so cant be adding to them, Lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Prin44 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Now approx 5 weeks. Single Tails. I have a fare few of these colour single tails, I was going to Cull them but think as I know the Mum is Short/round bodies Tele' it will be interesting to let them grow out a bit more and see what becomes of them and then I shall Cull the long bodies..... I also have a load of Green and Grey/Dark Double Tails I will get pics of later Edited March 2, 2013 by Prin44 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
