Oh yes!! Ohhh Noooo.

Have you ever had that totally elated feeling that only lasts a few seconds before you feel like a total prat?

He decides to pick out a mate for his female Albino so off down to the fishroom he goes, scotch and dry in hand with every intention of finding the best Gold Leopard male in the place. That's a male, maybe not, that's a male, crap I don't know, this is hard work, better get another scotch! Three scotches later, hic, I was convinced I'd found my fish, moved him the next morning and two days later, voila, eggs everywhere. Excitement plus, for 10 seconds. Mmmm that male has got a really thick tube, why is he going up the cone before the female?? Two bloody females!

The worst thing is I'm now going to have to spend the next week down the fishroom with my mate Jonnie Walker picking out males. Terrible aint it.

pete

[mistakes r crucial]

Thanks guys. David, 3 years time and I'd welcome a few scotches with you, we can chew the fat. Sex education Pete, you've gotta be joking. When I was at school they wouldn't even mention the word lol.
MAC

[stonedavid]

lol yeah same when i went through the schooling system, dont think much has changed over the years. I did something similar last week, opened an inlet valve and flushed a tank only realising later all the babies had been flushed thru the piping into the filtration buckets. Never lost any babies just poured them back in with the parents, who were a little annoyed with me, duuuuuuoh.
Pete

[lesley]

beautiful fish - maybe a little stones green ginger wine added to the scotch would help you pick a male?

[mistakes r crucial]

Now I really feel like a total prat because 36 hours later I have 150-200 eggs and only about 15 white ones. Time will tell!
MAC

[goldenpigeon]

LOL hoping for the best still!

[mistakes r crucial]

Well guys, they aint ladies or at least one of 'em. They're wriggling! They've eaten quite a few but probably still have around 60 left. Really looking forward to seeing what these throw.
MAC

[Dave76]

Well done MAC :D

[Robdog]

Does that mean he was just well hung?

[goldenpigeon]

^possibly.... hmm well hung discus BaHaHaHaHa ;)


congrats mate! must be very happy to get that pair!

[mistakes r crucial]

LOL Rob, if the male is the one I think it is then he's the most well hung male I've seen. There again, I'm not in the habit of looking at male appendages! Looks like I have about 60 wrigglers and another 30 odd eggs to come.
Cheers
MAC

[Merrilyn]

Ahhhhhhhhh MAC - discus work very hard at making fools of us all :P

Good luck with your fry :wink:

[samir]

i think you need to change the Oh yes!! Ohhh Noooo, to
Oh yes!! Ohhh Noooo !! Oh Yes, Oh Yes, Oh Yes!!!!!! :D

[mistakes r crucial]

They sure do make fools of us lol! So far so good with the wrigglers so it might be a case of changing the title. It's got me stuffed, I still dont know which is the male and female for sure.
MAC

[RichVic]

hey Mac
Mistakes ARE crucial, indeed! Very funny thread

[mistakes r crucial]

I've made plenty of 'em so far Rich and I'm sure I'll make plenty more but hey, if we don't learn something every day it gets a bit boring doesn't it.
MAC

[mistakes r crucial]

We lost the first lot of wrigglers, they got hungry! This time we caged the eggs and the female Gold Leopard obviously hadn't had enough so she laid again in the top corner of the tank. We now have about 50 - 60 free swimming GL X Alby fry and we're excited to see what we get in this batch. We moved half of them to BD parents with the same aged fry as they wont attach to the Alby and they latched straight on so here's hoping. Haven't lost one yet to our knowledge so we're rapped to say the least!
MAC

[elvip]

Great work Mac - finally got there!!! It was worth the wait & effort!
Keep us posted - will love to see what the fry turn out like.
Cheers
Elvip :D

[marg]

Great news Mac. Best of luck with them :D .

[Discus 41]

well done mac,at this rate you will soon be one of the main suppier on the forum,keep use all posted on your progress

[mistakes r crucial]

Thought I'd post a couple of pics of these Alby fry. As I said in the above post we put a few in with a pair of BD's which are in a divided 4ft tank, 4 or 5 of the fry got through the divider in with a Spotted Leopard pair who had just laid eggs so I thought they would be fish food. Nope, the pair ate their eggs and the fry are swimming on their backs like good 'uns. If only we knew what they were thinking!

[goldenpigeon]

thats amazing mate! im in absolute awe!

[discusjim]

Great pairs, keep up the good work!!
