Are you going to breed it back to the parents or to its siblings to continue developing that phenotype?
I didn't make decision about that but I have both F1 and WC parents female so I might can try both later.
but by now, I think I would try it with F1 female because of size differences.
Right after spawn
After hatch
My WC pair did spawn again.
I'm keep witnessing that their nest is high and the eggs placed on the middle to top of it right after spawn and the nest become flat and frys in right under the surface for last 3 times of breeding experience of this species.
I assume it's for protecting their eggs from underwater predetors at the first time and let them underwater after hatch but only thing we know for sure now is there are so many things to study about this amazing creatures.
I also want to test that is there any differences between breeding habits of them between species but still waiting for chance to get any others than H.odoe.
