Nice fish you have there. The hardest spawn is usually the first one, I am sure they will figure things out next time.....which probably won't take long.
My Sevs are spawning :)
- Thread starter Kanta
- Start date
Congrats on the spawn.
The hard part is getting them to pair in the first place ;-)
Sevs are nutoriously bad parents, so expect many a failed spawn before they get it right.
But - theres some bad news.
Golds and (by accounts) super reds show a higher level of infertility then greens thanks to their extensive line breeding. Dont be suprised if they never get it right.
Also to argue the toss when its comes to Gold severums vs red severums is a bit misleading. A red severum is just a higher "grade" (i hate that word, sounds like discus breeding ;-) ) of gold severum (although the females show stunning markings...)
But, i babble on.
A male Gold severum "can" look near identical to a super red (the females however, will look very differant, and guessing that your 2 fish came from the same store, they'll be siblings, so if the females lacking those red markings - chances are that they aren't super reds)
All the best

Yeah I don't expect them to get it right for awhile, they are a couple wacky fish lol. But I picked them up from a friend of mine who didn't want them any more, in which he got them from the lfs in our town. The owner was ecstatic when I told him that the pair had spawned because he is having hard problems finding any breeders around.
