wayne you think you could get someSolid red pigeons like mark got they are awesome i would love some of them cheers scotto

are they turning darker when courting or staying the same shade ?? imo they won't be easy to breed.

Hi All,
Thanks for the comments Scotty
They are still at the shop getting water changes everyday :)
I only feed them beefheart nothing else so maybe thats why they rnt as red as some,but hey i dont mind waiting for them to do color up naturally wont take long
They have grown a bit too
They must have been watching the spotted and checkered next door to them laying a batch out ,might have left something in the water :wink:

As for those red pigeons i dont think they will be too hard to track down but i dont think they will be too cheap atm,as i havent seen them here before(correct me if im wrong)
But leave it with me scotty

Samir,
Yes they are slightly darkening when courting more red comes out with darkening of the fins
Why do you think they will be hard to breed?

Cheers Wayne

does the white down the middle turn dark ? something like the pic. especially if the male decides it wants to do all the parenting and can't turn dark, you might have a problem. imo they would have to be hard to breed otherwise they wouldn't be that expensive.

good luck with them. from the pic the male looks like it has great shape.

I'd be very interested to see/read, pictures/descriptions of how they look/behave before the fry are free swimming. do keep us posted if you have the time.

Hi All,

Samir,
Thanks for your input as thats a very valid Qs :P
I will take on board what you have said thanks :D
But i hope i dont have that problem, they do go a bit darker but hopefully they will get redder of time
I must bring them home soon but too busy atm but they seem happy where they are so
It will be interesting to see what the do and look for me too
I will keep everyone updated on them with pics etc....

Cheers Wayne

Amazing shape on that gorgeous male.

I think the water conditions are going to be your biggest concern.
