What Are You Breeding?

[biggin]

What are you breeding?
Do you plan on selling them?
How long and how old?
Setups?

If we can keep this clean we can leave it a sticky if not I will make it a thread and let it go.

[tsunderl]

I've got a lot of Red Empress fry and juvies that will need homes in a few months as well as some salousi juvies that are about ready to go. I'd like for them to start coloring up (male vs female) before they go to new homes. Haven't decided on a price, but I know I'm not going to get rich so it will be reasonable.

my fish aren't free, I am like a crackhead and need money to support my fish habit, they are cheaper and nicer than what you will get at a local LFS

[AndrewH]

All I have is 1/2" yellow labs right now.

[bra8ndy8]

I have yellow labs, Rusty's, Sunshine's, ob peacocks......and my guppies are working on being over populated!

[EAST_TX_RN]

I am breeding Kenyii and Yellow Labs right now, but hope to get my RE's, Icebergs, and Red Jewels paired up in the near future. I do not pull the fry on purpose, because I don't want to have to deal with being overstocked or having to find homes for them. I am more for trading or giving them out for free when I can.

[supersmirky]

I currently have a batch of blue gourami's that are not even an inch yet and then another batch of them the are still very tiny and clear.

Guppys as well.

[rolloffhill]

Currently holding but not likely to make it...

Albino Alunocara Nagara "Flametails"

Red Zebra

Yellow lab

[Lakea]

I have been collecting my bronze cory eggs to see if any will hatch. My corys have been in the tank just over a week and they have been laying eggs every other day, but I have been fighting with my male BN, he loves to eat them. I'll just have to wait and see if any will hatch :D.

I would also like to breed my BNs but right now they are acting like little six year olds afraid of getting cooties, but they still have a bit of growing to do before they are ready to breed.

Also unintentionally breeding guppies, but ya'll know how livebearers can be. Can we say Jack Dempsey Snacks?

Well looks like Im breeding Demasoni and possibly Red Zebras (Metriaclima zebra). I have known that a Demasoni has been holding atleast since Friday, then I noticed just today that my Zebras mouth has gotten fat. I also have some Aulonocara and Paratilapia Polleni that I am hoping will breed. Maybe yall can help me determine the type of Aulonocara this is.

[rolloffhill]

Aulonocara stuartgranti (http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1397)?

[masroberts9]

that looks pretty damn close....it has the yellow fins, were as most of the others have blue fins. This one that I have also has a yellowish white forehead. I dont know if that was bred into it or if it is common.

[ponderbc]

Can't wait till the salousi's are ready, I would love a few of those.

[cichlidkeeper]

fish......................:hehe:

[laurelty4]

I have limia perugia, Endler livebearers, and am trying to get my pair of albino lf bristlenose to breed

[T-Angel]

I am having good luck with my Angels. My wife and I went to the fish store and we each picked one fish. turns out she picked the female and I picked and male and poof we have a mated pair.

I lost the first a few batches. It may have been the pair was not fully mature yet. Now I have 30 babies about dime to nickle sized.

My male gets protective and eats the spawn so I started pulling the slate and placing in a 2.5 gallon tank with a box filter and no gravel. This keeps the babies in a confined space and makes it easier for them to find the baby brine shrimp.

After 6 weeks they are large enought to transfer to a larger tank for grow out..

I currently have about 200-300 wigglers on the slate and hope this will be my first large batch...

Might need to see if anyone wants to sell a 55 because if I save this spawn I am going to need more room!

[ElijahTurtle]

Right now I seem to be breeding 10 gallon tanks :eek::eek::eek:
Every time I go cruising on Saturday, one or two jump in my car as I pass yard sales. Craziest danged thing you ever saw.:hehe:

Eventually my wife is going to get mad about all the tanks in the garage & kill me! :eek:

Other than that, I have a healthy collection of Spanish Dancer gupps & the female endler's are fattening up as well.

[Morability Ranch]

I am currently breeding Spanish Dancer , Black Moscow, Ribbon fin Black Moscow and Half Black Leopard Guppies.

I am waiting for my Full red Guppies to arrive this week so in the future I will also have plenty of those to offer as well.

I usually sell fry packs and start selling when they are 1 week old and up. I also from time to time will offer breeding age trios for sale.

My current avaliable for sale are Spanish Dancer fry and have that posted in the sales section of the site.

As far as selling, I have difficulty selling them all local and most of the time I have to ship outof state which is a PITA. Although I get some local buyers but the demand can't keep up with rate the fishes are producing especially the Mbunas:D Well I keep killing the FRY anyway so it evens up.:hehe:

[FishySuzy]

Trying with my guppies right now. I haven't had a drop since January.

[tsunderl]

[roscoe70]

Over the last month or so my bushy nose plecs have decided to crowd their tank. Wasn't planned, I haven't taken any steps to encourage this but they keep on keepin on. Male is albino and female (don't know which girl it is ) but both are calico. Babies are kinda cool with dots of cream color dark brown bodies and striping on the top and tail fins. If I could get a camera to work I would attempt pictures. Neat accident though.

[Dave-O]

I had a breeding pair of silver angels. I say "had" because the female was injured during one of their sparring matches just before the last spawn and I lost her.

I currently have one spawn that is ready to be sold and another that needs to grow for a couple more months. (Look for them in the "For Sale" threads soon!) After that, I am probably done for a while because we're expecting our first child in August. I may try for another breeding pair after I get used to this "daddy thing". ;)

[JMatthew]

How much for the child, is it sexable and are we looking at f1, f2 or what?

[Dave-O]

[Rcajun]

Not sure what I'm breeding. Have a livingstoni holding. Don't know who she bred with, my male venustus or what I believe is a male livingstoni. Just gonna let her spit in the tank.
