motherredcap 6,284 Posted February 27, 2015 Those are nice examples. I'm sure they will produce nice offspring for you. Be sure to keep a blog when they spawn. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikroll 236 Posted February 27, 2015 Hello Hassan I also breed the black telescope . a very strong hardy race. Sometimes one must take the eggs whenever Nature gives them to us even in QT. I have had this happen too. Now I await for my telescopes to spawn this coming moon and I will take all as last two spawns are small but growing well. Good luck with your new fish , they look to be fine from top view and should give good shot of dark into your other group of pale looking fantails I think. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hassan.zidan 43 Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks Michael , our climate now look like semi dessert hot mornings at summer . My next plan to add ice early morning to simulate the ideal climate 20 C , is it good . 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikroll 236 Posted March 1, 2015 Hassan, It is well known that goldfish like to spawn in spring during a sudden thunder storm and rainy weather with quick drops in temperature with the sunshine warming up after. So your plan to induce them is interesting. I have never done it with ice or ice water bottles but I do know that many times when I was importing hundreds of goldfish just arriving from Asia that had been prepared for travel by the low cool method , that they would spawn as soon as we did awake them in the warm holding tanks. Mine I just use water change at an immediate 6 degree difference and it works .Maybe you can build a cool room and cool it with a heat pump air conditioner? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hassan.zidan 43 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Avery long summer in our climate from my observation increasing ( metabolism ) i think for this reason my Oranda fish wen not grow as well plus slow eggs production , a cool room with heat pump air conditioner little expensive nowadays but i will plan for it in near future . So i will lean to use water change at an immediate 6 degree difference Edited March 1, 2015 by hassan.zidan 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikroll 236 Posted April 6, 2015 Hi Hassan and hope all goes well. now after we speak about water temperature I have just made a super big mistake. I did move to out side ponds several thousand guppy since i raise them in cool water and I am thinking Winter is finished. so now at Easter arrives the big cold snap and I loose nearly all outside guppy. OH well that is how we become expert , right? but all telescope butterfly are growing great and should be ready for market soon. I hope you have good luck with your catfish too. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hassan.zidan 43 Posted April 7, 2015 Sorry to hear that you loose your guppy , i wish to cover this near soon , now i prepared three tanks for breeding one of them my telescope but not breeding yet . I will start Catfish breeding Surgery next week. Fortunately our local pet-stores looking for guppy and molley this days. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
