shadoh Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Just as well they are't carrying DT, then I might end up with DDRDTHMCTPKs. Seems like all I do is talk these long series of letters and have nothing (until now) to back it up. Lets not forget, I was one of the first to have a Dumbo HM, and look how that ended up I have a good feeling about this pair! The "Thai Magic" is strong...

shadoh Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 No nest in the CTPK tank. Giving them a good feed of blackworms. CT boy in other tank has built a nice nest, so will let his girly out today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 She is so full of eggs, he is having trouble wrapping her. She needs to drop a few to have some success, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 The female was hiding behind the filter up the other end of the tank, so I have just now removed her. Sure there will be plenty of fry given the number of eggs To be honest, she still looks pretty full, so I'll rest her until the weekend, then set her up with my Blue Marble CT male...

shadoh Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Well, I finally got around to setting up spawn tanks. One for the giants and one for the CTPKs. You might notice I have a new girly for the CTPK - my original female had an aggressive tumor and I never got a chance to re-spawn the pair. I have 1 more spawn tank that I am setting aside for now. I have a girl ready - just waiting to find the perfect boy...oops... Jumped the gun - There are videos to go with this post. Just waiting on slow youtube :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Easy to say "give him another go" as there may have been something wrong with the eggs but not sure if I could actually do it. Lol. Good luck buddy. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Thanks mate. I'll keep an eye on him. If I catch him snacking, he's outta there. It's what I ended up doing with my red copper boy... Can't wait to see if I get my giants to spawn :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Good luck. I'd give him another go... Lilli used to say three strikes then they're out. I'd go two. Third would plan for it to be a fatherless hatch. What's the girl that youre putting to the CTPK? I can't tell on iPhone ... CT, CTPK, cT?

shadoh Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 @Paul - It's not the best video to begin with. The bubbles on the glass didn't help. She's a CTPK. As my summer spawning plans all failed, I don't have time to create my own CTPK from scratch in time for the September betta show, so gotta go with the real thing @Chris - Thanks mate!
