m'akoyPINOY Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 bad clownie!!! give us babies... Link to comment
christosclowns Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Ok well i did something that I hope will work. I took the onyx eggs that were showing eye balls at 4 days old and put them with the snowflake. And I took the snow flake eggs that they just layed and put them with the onyx. I did this because the onyx male is a great daddy and i havent seen him pick any eggs off yet. The snowflake started picking the onyx fertile eggs once i put them with him. This will prove to me if the snowflake is fertile. And if he is fertile then he has a problem with eating eggs, Technically there only supposed to eat eggs when they are infertile,or fungused, hence he is eating fertile eggs (from the onyx parents) so hes got a problem,. From now on his nick name is Ricky Ricardo cuz that what i say when hes eating, cMION RICKYYYYYYYYYYYYYY iLL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED ON THE MALE ONYX TENDING THE SNOWFLAKE EGGS I HOPE THERE FERTILE SEE YA PS THE EGGS WERE LAYED ALLOT TIGHTER THIS TIME AND HE WAS MAKING BETTER PASSES MY WIFE SAID Link to comment
colgan10 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Sweet idea pulling the old switcherroo hope it works for you, pretty interesting stuff here. ok so i know i ask you all the time, but i'm in love with you picasso's any breeding activity?????? Link to comment
christosclowns Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Colgan my friend the onyx/picasssi pair is cleaning heavy but the picasso/picasso air is still nothing yet Link to comment
krug1313 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Erik, Hello from Canada. Hopefully you can get some of those guys into the country. I respect you to the fullest. Very nice stock you have. Link to comment
Marteen Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hmmm if the picasso eggs were fertile you could have the onyx take care of them till they are ready for hatching right? If you could get a standard pair of clown to sync up to the picassos cycle you could just switch out the eggs for every batch so you wouldn't be losing onyx eggs to the picassos. Very interesting technique I hope it works out for you! Link to comment
christosclowns Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 so far so good only bad thing is ricky ricardo aka snowflake ate the fertile onyx eggs lol hes unreal. Im gonna soak some food in fish oil maybe hes not getting enough fat in his diet Link to comment
christosclowns Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 OK well this worked out for the worst lol. When i did the eggs swap the male snowflake ate all the onyx eggs and the male onyx ate all the snowflake eggs. The male onyx ate the eggs for one of two reasons. First they werent good eggs or second because it was totally different water than the parents tank they got fungus. UGHHHHHHHHH this is why this hobby should be called patience ill have to wait again. Im not gonna give it we will be going on spawn number 4 now Link to comment

dtownkennel Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ive bred discus for years and ive always had eating parents...when the eggs are usually laid I put in a net that block the eggs from being eaten. They can see and fan the eggs but cannot eat them. Some eat eggs but not fry but there are some that eat both hahah. worth a shot to block the eggs. Link to comment
christosclowns Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 interesting so put a net over the eggs I find it hard to fo or maybe a picture would help My female is over 4 and a half inches she will knock it over she picks up rocks when i put them in there to piss her off . Id love for you to explain or post a pic for me with a pot it would seem hard to do Link to comment
