Crowntails Spawned Successfully

[fawnmodel]

The two crowns I had planned for spawning had a great and easy spawn, both with great nestcare and both blowing bubbles and taking care of putting the eggs in place. Female removed successfully right after spawning, she probably dropped around a hundred eggs.

I think the male may have eaten some eggs today, though it is hard to be sure. He blew a very unique bubblenest which is all LARGE bubbles, not the regular frothy type. We are talking .5-1cm bubbles. So it is hard to make out all the eggs, but he is looking a little fat.

Gorgeous combo I am very interested in seeing how these F1's turn out, total outcross. Male lavendar/pink/blue/white marble DR CT piebald - Female cambo CT, fushcia.

I'll post some pics later, been so busy with work and life, and all the spawns.

Good luck to all of your with your spawns!

Well, worst fears realized, he ate ALL the eggs, but still a fab bubblenest. I had the other, very eager female ready to go, and they are mating now. I will be removing him with her after they fill the nest, and replacing him with a surrogate male I have who is dependable for caring for any nest)

Too bad, I really wanted the first spawn to be with the cambo girl, but this new one is with his spawn sib female so it will be an f2

Male is a dud this round. Reconditioning and trying again in a few weeks or so.
