Finally Got My Dragons

[ManyFISH4Me]

I hope this works. I got 3 (Sib?) pairs. I have been conditioning them, and will hopefully have eggs tomorrow. If all goes well, I will only need the one pair. I may keep another Female too. That means I will have 2 extra males, and a female. Not sure how i'm going to sell them yet, or for how much. I did get a surprise. One of the Females is Orange, and Green. She is the one I hope to breed. If the males are her brothers, I hope to get some orange fry.

Hope the pics work.

Synirr, I think I caught the Plakat bug too. Your kids were my first, and now, I am so in love with these guys.

Took a little longer than expected, but....I Got Eggs! I did use the 2 pictured above. So far, this male is a great dad. He has all the eggs in a tight ball. looks like it may be 100 or so. I was going away for 2 days, so i tried to plan the spawn for the day before i went away. THat way they would hatch while i was gone, and by the time they were free swimming, I would be home to feed them. Didn't work, so i put the female back in her glass, while i was away. That way they could see eachother. I put them together yesterday, and nothing. Te female hid for hours, so i put her back in the glass last night. (was afraid to leave them together overnight.) When I went to check on everyone in the morning, the female was in with the male, and they already had about a dozen eggs. She had to jump almost 3 inches to get to him. I have a few PM's, sorry have been very busy. I will get to them today (I Hope)
To answer a couple at once here: I'm not sure which ones i'm selling yet, or how much I want. I will probably let one female go, in a couple days (I want to make sure these eggs hatch) The males i may keep until the fry show color. (So I can see if any of these fry are orange. If not, I will probably try the orange female with one of the other 2 males)

Congrats on the spawn

They hatched last night. Dad is still with them, and doing a great job. Looks like I may have 100.

I'll update with pics, and a more accurate count in about week. I have noticed with mine, if they last a week, they usually survive.
