Pair in love!

When i bought the pair of SD's on Sunday i was planning on putting the male in the divided with the other 5 boys and the female in the sorority...

Well as it turns out iv decided to put them both in the 'empty' clear seal tank, divided of course...AND this morning when i go to feed them he's built a bubble nest and she keeps coming over to look at it through the divide with gorgeous yellow breeding lines.

Here's a few photos of the pair

Aww so cute!

ooppss forgot to put female...duh!!

Done it now tho!

You know.... they'd make GORGEOUS babies.....

ooh can't wait to see what it becomes! :p

Soul mates maybe? Nice looking pair!

Im very unsure about breeding them at the mo as il be back to work at the beginning of November, in my job its a busy time (im a cashier so lots of extra time!) so dont want to be at work worrying about my fry, so to speak. Not got anyone else to look after them either.

So maybe after christmas when im not so busy it could be possibility...

Very nice pair.
So does that mean another tank for breeding? lol

Well il have to if im going to breed after christmas as the planned tank for breeding is the divided tank they are in now lol!!! Hopefully il get a bit of crimbo money from my mum!! or ask her to buy me a tank...

lol Why not get a big 150G tank for them all lol.Then think how many tanks you will need for all the males your going to end up with hundreds of tanks haha. They are worth breeding though they look great.

Where can i put a 150G tank kiz!! My house not big enough, not even for the tanks iv already got, lol!! two 100 litre tanks, a 21 litre hex and the clear seal no idea how big it is but its 18" long!!

In the garage like me thats the only spot i can find for mine lol. You can always squeeze in more tanks Just build a rack and stack them up haha.

I sadly dont have a garage not even a shed either I just need a BIG house!

Loft? haha

I just need a mum that will let me get more tanks lol. When i get my own house there will be more water than air in it haha

I think you mum is very nice letting you get a 150G tank. Loft! cant reach or i would!! Altho spiders kinda put me off,lol!

Its only to shut be up because ive bugged her about it for agers lol.
Im not sure i would fancy a 150G in the loft unless you want a big hole in the floor and alot of water every where. lol the fish would love eating them though.

If a loft can hold a header tank, I'm sure it can hold a fish tank. It holds the roof up, doesn't it?

But back to the orginal thread guys...


Felt a little sad last night as his bubble nest had gone BUT this morning when i woke up and looked in he's started another one under a different leaf looks bigger, was nice to watch him at his work! What is the typical behavour of a male liking a female? as he keeps adding bubbles to the nest then swimming to the divide looking for the female then swimming back adding more bubbles. He's not been flaring at her this morning but he's been spreading out his fins and tail when he's looking for her.

She's still got the big yellow breeding bars on her body she swims backwards and forwards looking for him and keeps kinda bowing down to him. Does this seem like typical behavour?

Never seen it personally, but it seems their interest is sure sparked!

He's built 2 nests now think he should fill the gaps to make one huge nest,lol!

Sounds like what Huey does with his female neighbour. He adores her it seems lol

Maybe there'll just be one you awake in the AM!

Well, since the first photo of the boys nest he's been constantly building nests under all the leaves of his silk plant in his divided tank! The female has constantly had the breeding bars since i first put her on the other side of the divide she's like a blue and yellow tiger!

Im waiting on IAL's and some other stuff but iv decided to try breed them just waiting for the right time as im conditioning them at the moment for the past few days...and she's started looking a little bit eggy which is great.

Sounds good to me. They will have some lovely fry. Good luck

They will have gorgeous little ones! Wish Huey was as fast a nester as your boy!
