Another pregnant male (with pics)

Bout time for an update, so bear with me, if you're interested. These always get long.

First off, the best news of all. The foerschi have spawned again (3rd time), and the male is still holding. He ate the eggs as the fell the first time, swallowed them overnight the first night the second time, and this time he's been holding for a night and a day. So that's good news. He's slowly progressing. He might swallow them again, but I'm hoping for the best - he's being a good papa so far, tumbling them like a good boy.

Once again, the female took steps to spawn into her own uh.. "fins". She hops the divider whenever she feels like getting it on, and then jumps right back over when she's done. Sure makes it easy for me!! I've never ever seen a smarter fish.

Other good news, the falx babies are starting to take bloodworms. Wuv and Sorrell know of my ongoing struggle with these picky snots. So it's really a big deal. They haven't taken frozen food until now. They're all jarred now too. Good news for those of you waitin on some.

Bad news? Lots. My beautiful veil Huckleberry Fin died.... my crowntail The Dread Pirate Roberts is almost dead, and so is my doubletail female Buttercup. *sigh* I could go into detail but that's just boring to y'all and sad to me. I have so many empty tanks.


Oh wait, can't end on that note, too sucky. The girl who "died"? She's still doing well. Clamped fins still, but swimming around more and more, and her color is getting really pretty.


Here's preggo daddy!!!

One more of chipmunk boy.


This is his "you wanna piece of me" look, when I bust out the camera...

Sorry for your losses, but I'm very happy to hear Miracle is doing better.

Your foerschi is beautiful.

Good luck Julie!

LOL! That "You wanna piece of me!?" pic is great.

As for the one's who've passed on... losing a fish is very devistating.. but... congrats on the fry eating and the new spawning!

I'm also sorry to hear of the troubles

I did read miracles story and she truly is an amazing fish,I'm glad she's doing well I'm also happy to hear the babies are jarred and eating Took em long enough

Your holding male is amazing I'm hoping to get my hands on some kapuas

Looks like that name possibility might stick, eh comet?


Kelly - No kidding about the babies. They're still all little shrimps, stuck up little gooners. Good luck with the kapuas! They're beautiful fish. And there are two auctions up, so perhaps you can get a pair and Steph can get a pair. That would be too funny!! And ya know... if you have those, I'd trade foerschi for them. Plus you've still got falx comin your way.



Thanks guys.

!nice!

lol GD.

awesome pics!!! the "looking bad for the camera" pic is sooo cool!

i hope the preggo daddy doesnt swallow the eggs this time but good luck either way!

im glad to hear that your babies are finally eating the bloodworms! im sure they have good taste...thats why theyve been such boogers!! hehe

Whoot whoot! Horny little bastards, ain't they?

I'm thrilled to hear Miracle is doing well.

So exciting Tumble away my love

She is such a (as they call it) "playa".


Sorry about your losses though.


Cation-

He swallowed them. I can't believe it!!! I swear he just does it so he can get it on again sooner. Anyways, looks like he is holding them one more day each time, so at this rate, it's gonna take another oooh 7 - 10 spawns before I have fry.

Why do they do this to us?

OUCH!

Well theres always next time right?

I must commpliment on ur holding daddy he looks nice......
