  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
congrats! ... by far the best thread ive read since joining MFK! .... my wife and i have been wanting to try our hand at breeding fish for the first time.. and we were thinking of dovii... but after reading this i think we've changed our minds! ..... p-bass :D,,...... beautiful fish ... and again ..congrats on your success ..
 
Thanks.. I believe i lost this 3rd spawn as well... My wife had a baby And I had no time... Plus everyone that was suppose to be over to get eggs.. Was sick or I had bad timing ;( I did manage to get a small set off to CargR so we will see what comes of it;)

But here is a pic they are finally starting to stick to the breeding spot..

Sorry no pic :( I cannot find them :(
 
Well due to all the busy stuff with new baby this past week.. It is confirmed complete loss of 3rd batch. ..

Now preparing for the next spawn ;)
 
I hate to say it because it's a pain in the keester, but your rate of fertilization and successful hatching will go up dramatically if you soften the water.
 
;) Ya I am working on Getting some RO going.. But The lady just had our daughter ... SO things are alittle tight.. Thanks bro ;)
 
You are right ;)
 
I got my RO off of E-bay. It is a 75GPD unit and only cost me $95. Normally a unit this size runs several hundred dollars.

Trust me, I undertand how the little brats can suck the life right out of your hobby! LOL Good thing they make up for it in other ways!!

You might want to call Culligan and see if they have any rental programs in your area. I know that when I lived in SoCal, Culligan charged me $10 a month to rent an RO unit. They installed it and serviiced it as part of the rental agreement at no extra charge. It only did 10GPD but that's better than nothing...
 
I was just tryin not to go that far ... YET ... ;)
