Administrators Cory Posted October 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 11, 2020 Has anyone had luck keeping them colored up in a tank most of the year, or only during breeding season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a trick to get them to fully color up sooner in life, since it take them a long time to get their color and even longer to get their full adult color, my lfs can't sell a plain minnow at 15$ lol. I plan to line breed fish that show color sooner, better color(blue family and red family) and perfect conformation. As for 100% fire up thats base on day by day, but its pretty often, about once a week even now when the temp drop to 50ish. If you watched to video all of these are about the same age, only a few weeks apart. Anyway the color up fish in the video was part of my testing all male got their full adult color within the testing, I brought in more to see if I can recreate it again. If this work hopefully they can become more popular and my lfs can move more of them at a younger age. I'm not gonna say what the project is until I can prove it a few more time. But I'm sure you can guess it 😏. Thats only my experience with this family. Edited October 11, 2020 by WhitecloudDynasty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Blake Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I have a friend who keeps only males and he will have at least 3 colored up at one time he only has 7 but they are red when not colored up and when they are Colored up they go that brilliant blue. He feeds a lot of blood worms and krill in that tank so the reds really pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I am inspired by @WhitecloudDynasty. I spawn fish. @WhitecloudDynasty breeds fish. I love baby fish, but breeding would add an additional dimension to the game. I would need more than just a few fry, hundreds would be better for selection I might have to keep separate breeding lines to keep breeding options available Everything we have in the hobby was developed by someone like @WhitecloudDynasty Setting a goal, working hard and then reaching the goal is one of the best things in life Setting a goal, working hard and failing and then trying again is pretty good too This is why I love the Forum. It is a source of endless inspiration. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoefishGofish Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I have a dozen or so. Half male. They seem to spawn every week or two. no fry yet. There colours are increasingly bright as they get older. This pic was this morning. I did not adjust the colours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoefishGofish Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 They seem to spawn in the same area overtop of some big stones. I haven’t noticed any eggs lying underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoefishGofish Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 They are only in full display for about 18 hours but there seems to build a waxing and waning period (so to speak). No idea what triggers it, just going with the flow. I bought them in the spring and kept them a couple months indoors. Then outside in a pond for 4 months and now back inside. Temp is about 68F. No heater. I might try WhiteCloudDynasty’s breeding setup.....it’s gonna be a long winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted November 30, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 30, 2020 As far as I know, you do the rocks/mables in a tupperware to have the eggs fall into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do try it make sure "she" is ready, cause the male is alway ready and can rub her side open if left in there too long. May take more than a few try to get the hang of your breeders.

JoefishGofish Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I was able to collect about 50-60 eggs from in between the rock nest last week with a turkey baster. Now 10 days later in another tank. About 20 survived the hatching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
