Oooh. Looks healthy. :D

I take it there were others that made it, of course. :D

How many times will you breed? You going for a certain type of color or finnage?
 
The one and only male from this batch...

(you're right, TF - Don't know what happened with this one... :p )

Me neither...me neither!!! :hyper: :whistle: :hyper: C'mon ,fix it Jen...I wanna see your boy :*)
 
It's definitely a different pic this time, but it still isn't showing up.

And the picture, of course, is the entire specimen, no?
 
Nope, both pictures are whole, they just aren't posting right. I'll keep trying.
 
Here's the second pic of that boy....

TF - I'm having a heck of a time with the second, but I'll get it eventually. In the meantime, my other thread's pics posted with no problems... :rolleyes:

Yes, he's already been bred to a sibling. It was a very small clutch - I ended up with about 6 or 7, I think - we'll see how many make it to adulthood. The fry are almost 2 weeks old.


His mom was a prizewinning peach cellophane STF (yes, he has a pedigree... :rolleyes: :lol: ) and his dad was a plakat with wild-type coloration. He was bred with a sibling sister (not the one shown above, a different sis with more appealing form and finnage). From the F1.1, I ended up with 3 females and one male. From the F1.2 (the other thread I posted today, same parents as these guys) I ended up with two, but that batch won't be spawned for an F2.

Sorry, TF, missed this question. I'm primarily interested in plakats. I started with an unrelated pair. This gave me my F1. Then I bred sibling to sibling. This has given me my F2. I will breed a few more batches of F2, and see if I have enough plakats to go for F3. If I do, then at F3 I'll reevaluate and maybe go for some unrelated pairings using the F3 and outsiders.
 
Thanks, wuv :p . I'm hoping the F2 turns out handsome like their daddy is. :wub:
