Royal Blue Random Ray CT x Copper DTHMPK (EESDA)






Royal Blue Random Ray CT x Copper DTHMPK
spawned April 28, 2012
-second spawn-
the male is a Random Ray CT (meaning there are different types of fin rays) but it is mostly single ray and some double ray...he has a web reduction of around 50%
the female is from a friend of mine who produces Symmetrical HMPK regularly...she is a fusefin DT with absolutely no sign of a split
I hope with the web reduction of the male, there will be more web reduction in the offspring. The prospect of DTCTPK is quite exciting.

HBK!

    Experienced certain problems.

    Fry seems to be smaller than usual. I have difficulty raising them.

      Hi Kiel,
      I cross my fingers that you get them strong and that they will grow good. I had the same problem with my surprise spawn, but I got a good protein food.

    I resorted to a combination of MW in the morning and BBS in the afternoon
    MW just to make sure they don't go on empty stomachs
    BBS to pump up the protein content in ther diet

      Hi KIel,
      off course that´s a idea. How are your experiences with MW`s? Here in europe I know breeders which feed his fries only with Micro worms (MW), and the whole spawn had no ventral fins.

      Hi Axel,

      I only tried MW because the fry are very small. On my other spawns, I use BBS always.

      according to my friends, the MW diet gives them all complete fry or a combination of complete and ventralless fry.

      In case, if I do get ventralless, I'll just breed them. It's nothing genetic after all. I'm guessing that the ventralless is caused by the MW-triggered ammonia spikes "burning" the fins of the fry.

      HBK!
