Hi Les. I'll get an orange single tailed HM pair eventually. I'll breed the DT male to the orange female and the DT female to the orange male. That way I'll have 2 parallel lines I can cross with one another. You can see my DT boy (before he got a taste for his tail) here: http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/closed.cgi?view_archive_item&fwbettasdt1303387618 I could always cross him into a PK line to get similar colours in a PK. The breeder threw in an extra PK pair with my order. No idea what colour. Red DTPKs will be nice are they in this shipment that is in quarantine now, or the next shipment? I wouldn't mind having a look before someone sends them on to you...

Well, now I have 2 tail biters, I can keep them together in a divided tank in my special tail biting formula I am sure it is the excessive finnage that makes at least some of them do it. Dumbo is a RT, and the new fish is a DTHM. I did think it was the stress of shipping that may have coused the DT to have a munch, but the breeder sent an extra "replacement" pair with them, so it is obviously something he did before leaving Thailand. I probably won't be breeding the DT with the female he is being sent with. She is DT as well, and his body is already a little too short. I bought him for his gorgeous blue/orange butterfly pattern. As for Dumbo, I want a pure big ears spawn before attempting outcrosses. The female is a little bit tail heavy, but can't find a long fin HM big ears female that isn't. I'll breed them, then work on a few outcrosses. If the trait doesn't get passed on to non big ears fish, then I at least will have some pure big ears.

Go on Yan, you know you want to upgrade.... you've come this far The up side is if you get a bigger tank, you've got a reef to go diving in when the mood takes you. By the way, RUFUS does not like the names you have suggested :rofl:

He's beautiful How could you not want to keep him? I need to see him swimming around my (...oops...your) tank :drool:

Happy Birthday Bev! Hope you have a great day!!!!

Mine is a blue orange BF HM DT. What have you got on order.

True. I used the flash on that one. Could just be the way the light was reflected...

Well, that's 10 minutes... Like it or not, I'm posting them anyway

Looking no better or worse. Sooner I get him in the spawn tank, the better. Got another tail biter on my hands now. Just heard from someone that the AquaBid DT male I have waiting to be picked up arrived with a chewed up tail.... Grrrr

I was taking some photos of Busmans community tank and noticed this... Got some general pics of the tank too if you want to see more...

Wow, you have a whiptail How long have you had your cories? Have they bred?

Nice cambo girl! I'm a sucker for cambos... :wub:

Better post them... It's rare to get photos from you. You are always grounded... *lol*

More please...

Have heard they taste like chicken Seriously though, I was watching a documentry on them a couple of months ago and the film maker spent 7 days trying to find some wild axies in what's left of Lake Xochimilco and couldn't find any. The water in the canals are now so heavily polluted, that the small population of axies left only live in a tiny part of the canal system.

That looks stunning Sarah! I really like the new look a lot All the best with Tenedor's recovery...

All the best guys... Well done :thumbs:

Some very nice boys you have there :D
