Ok so this will be my first breeding project w/ anything more then cons or livebearers so figured id ask for some tips before my fish are even mature enough to mate.
My plan is to cross a supposed male f1 escondido green texas (the escondido part is in question, i asked the owner of the lfs that got them at auction and he said they were marketed as f1 escondido carpintis) with festae, then maybe throw a KKP or something else into the mix. Kind of like red tex except swap the initial BP lineage and red contribution w/ festae. Ill be using a 70 ga tank once my big tanks up n running and my normal fish (bichirs dats wolf pbass) are out of it. Ive always wanted to create my own line, i wont be selling them to LFS just friends and guys on here, so dont get your pantys in a bunch about hybrids ruining the hobby.
Currently the male gtex is about an inch larger then the fem festae i plan to pair w/ it. Both are smaller, festae about 3 inch and gtex about 4, so i got some time before theyre ready to breed. Should i raise them together? Or on oppositte sides of a divided tank? Or seperate tanks entirely? Also any tips on making them pair up?
After seeing the outcome of a festaexgreentex in the big hybrid thread i gotta try for em lol. Maybe something cool can come out of this
