shadoh Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Put him in spawn tank this morning. Currently choosing the lucky girl to go in with him. I'll post pics of her later. Spawn log will go up once I get eggs. If failure, I will report back here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 After a lot of procrastinating over the decision, this is the female I have chosen... Meet Lady X... I have chosen her due to the fact she has the most amount of dragon scales and looks so much like her mum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Shes stunning! I have one just like her with slightly less dragon scales around the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Funny thing is that I only got females who looked like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 What about all the pastels, cellos and the cambo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Of course, plenty of everything else. What I meant was that no male had the same colour/pattern with the dragon scales and metallic blue like Lady X and the girl you have. I think Sunnylass got 1 or 2 girls that look like that too...

shadoh Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 No more AB! I am going cold turkey here... don't tempt me. I am happy with the pairing I have - I'll get some DT's and PK's from this spawn :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 This one would be good to cross into your black dragon line http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwbettashmp&1301972524 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 That's what my black dragon looks like. Why get another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) He just loves AB, and can't get any more fish so is pestering people to buy for him. I'm not budging so he goes to you because, well.. we all know how you are with AB. :blush: Edited April 1, 2011 by Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I should be able to get another pair if I get rid of the Gold CT"s. They are Platinum black dragons :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Do you want to get rid of your golden CT? May know someone interested if your serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm considering it, I want to focus on HMPK. I will have to ask Dad if i can get a HMPK pair if I get rid of him first though. I will Know by Tuesday :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I think this pair have spawned in the early hours of the morning (or perhaps last night as the thunder was rolling in the distance, like my dragons) The male has a HUGE nest under an IAL and won't budge. The female is now hiding behind the filter. I have no way of seeing if there are any eggs, so I'll just wait and see if I have tails in a day or 2. If that happens, I'll start an official spawn log :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 From the way these two are behaving, I'd say this pair has spawned. Male still guarding the nest, female still hiding behind the filter and being chased back in there if she moves. Edit: Coaxed her into the net with a bit of food and moved her into the barracks next to the black dragon female I have just removed from the spawning tub. Very minimal damage - a couple of nips out of her fins, but nothing that won't grow back. I'll be keeping out an eye for tails in a day or so... So excited - this is the first spawning between a pair of fish that I have bred :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
