I started out with a fair few CT's too but Kel mentioned it could've been a bad spawn genetic wise as most of them died, this spawn seems so much stronger esp the big ones wow, i cant get over the big fry to the runts!

@Dave~ haha, i know its eye is quite weirdly hypnotising, lol!

More photos:








These are photos of the one baby thats quite big.

Oh look at them! I guess that was the idea!

I love their shiney white scales looks kinda pearly in some lights.

Group photos of the fry, im amazed at how many are swimming about:








This is my biggest baby you've seen above in this thread iv named him/her Chunk:

Love the pictures! Chunk from the movie "Goonies?"

Haha, yeah didnt even think of that, lol!!!

shiny! XD

lovley fry.good work!!!!!

they're looking great hun

nice to see the spawning is coming together for you now too!

Thanks everyone im just so happy that things are going better on this spawn than my first spawn just growing so fast compared to the CT spawn that seemed to take forever to grow!

More photos...!








Im really pleased that this spawn likes to hang out and swim about rather than just sit on the bottom

Nice batch! I find that most who spend most of the time on the bottom dies.

Looking so good compared to last time. Hoping it continues that way!

Think thats why most of my first spawn died!

@2tall thanks i hope they continue to please me also

They're looking great!!! Great job!!!

Iv been looking at my fry and noticed 1 small fry that looks to be DT! It doesnt look to have a nipped tail but iv looked at the other fry and i dont see anymore...iv tried to get photos but its hard as my camera wont zoom in and focus on the baby.

This is what i got:




Heres a few photos of the bigger fry:






This is the size difference:

That's quite odd that you would get only one DT out of that many fry. I have DT in my Gold and Copper lines and usually get 25% every other generation except the one spawn I crossed DT to DT. Then I got 3 or 4 single tails out of the 619 I started with so that is odd at 1/2%.

I know thats what iv been thinking its very strange and i dont know the backgrounds of either parents although the female was from Kel so she may know...

Iv looked and looked and the more i look the more i see it looks like a DT, even asked my 8 yr old daughter to look and she says the same, i just wish i can get a better photo...will keep trying tho.

If it turns out to be a DT would i need to respawn it with the parent to try get more DT's or would that not work? Im not good with genetics...sorry!

Iv got it the little baby which i think is a DT here's the photo:


Is it or isnt it?

I wouldn't be the one to ask, but I'm hoping for you!

Deffinately DT. Spawning to the parent you wouldn't know which one has DT genes. Spawning with a sibling would be russian roulette. DT X DT gives you 75% DTgeno (approximately). If you got one of the offspring that wasn't DT geno you wouldn't get any DT fry until you spawned those siblings and hope you get two that are DT geno again. That's how it's supposed to work, BUT not neccessarily. I've been breeding my Singletail DT geno to DT for 7 generations now and always ALWAYS get 25% DT every other generation. I don't know if I'm just lucky and pick one that is DT geno or all of them are.

Thanks Chard for clarifing that for me thought my eyes where playing tricks as its pretty small...still find it strange how there's only 1!
