Soothing Shrimp Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Well, it looks as if the BB I got from Mayphly is now berried. heh I had her in my selectively-breeding-for-all-red crs tank while waiting for money to set up another tank. She was probably hit up by my male red crs, so f2 should be interesting. EbiBunBun, woopderson, h4n and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 The babies, I imagine, will look like crs. But the f2's.....(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Alright man! Tha'ts awesome! Congratulations! Just curious what parameters are you keeping them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 TDS 123 and GH 2 and I try to keep ph around 6.3ish via baking soda. Haven't tested kh at this point, but assume around 0 since ph fluxes. Conventional thought is I should probably raise gh up to at least 4, but I've had no problems as of yet, and crystals are breeding like crazy now.

mayphly Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 It's amazing the different parameters TB can live in. A GH of 2 is the lowest I've heard. But hey, if that works then that's al that matters. I wouldn't change a thing if they're breeding. [emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 This is only what works for me right now. In the future, who knows? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicca32 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 ive had my tb since april and no babies yet. im really thinking about looking into mischlings come the first of the year to get things going i hope. congrats man cant wait to see the babies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I keep two female mischling with my tb and it seems like they are berried more often than the tb. One of the Mischling was berried the day after she gave birth. She wastes no time. Lol! Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 If she's a first timer, she may drop the eggs. But so good so far. heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
