Working On My First F2

[ManyFISH4Me]

I started from scratch, so they don't have the best fins. For the F1, I used this Female (from Hm/Super Delta Parents)

And this male Veil Mix (I love his color)


Since these fish were not related, the same color, or tail type, you can imagine all the different babies I got.
The orange was a tolal, but welcomed surprise. Here are a few of my fav's. It will be hard, but many of these will be available soon. If I want to develop this line, all that I will not be breeding must go.








This is the dad of my soon to be F2 babies

I picked him for his color, but his spread is a bit better than it looks in this pic. The Red, is more of a gold/Copper.

This isn't the exact female I used. The one I used is the same color, but has better spread. She looks a lot like the Turq, in the middle.

(The Cambo's are also my babies. (Diff Spawn) Some of them will be looking for new homes too)
The girl at the bottom left, is one of my Synirr girls.

So far I see lots of eggs, and dad is doing a great job. I don't want to count my eggs before they hatch.
I'll let everyone know when they hatch.

Good luck with them starting a new line is always exciting

They have started hatching. I looks like dad is doing a good job, and isn't eating any.
when the parents hatched, I could see right away, there were very white babies, and very dark ones. I'll check tomorrow, and see what I've got this time. Even though both of these guys are dark, about half the sibs were light. I do expect to see at least a couple in this spawn too.

I am conditioning a light pair or sibs to these. I want to see how the babies of the 2 light ones vs. the 2 dark ones look.

Here are some better pics of dad.

This one shows how he is still growing. His spread has improved from all that showing off for the female.


This one shows his color better. The red, is still a little more copper, like a new penny though. (you can see it a little in this pic)
