Spawn 021414  - Repeat

Picture
CTDT from Justin (Ocean Aquarium)

Although this female has the severe fault (to me) of having a thin caudal peduncle, I am hoping that the thick body of the CTDT will be able to complement her. Since her mother was a DT, she should throw DT offspring.

Woohoo! First RBOS ever, and at my first convention?!
PictureUnfortunate failed mate
This spawn occurred because my first attempt using the BOS female's father (a back-cross) failed miserably. The male is obviously a bit over the hill - no idea how old he is at this point - and they could never figure out an appropriate wrap. It was almost as if one betta was right-handed and the other left-handed! The female became so laden with eggs that I put in my "spawn master" CTDT male to rescue her. They ended up having an uncomplicated spawn and the male raised the fry without fuss. It looks like there are a good amount of fry in there and I am hoping that the previous spawn's failure to grow was due to my neglect rather than some genetic mishap.

The pair spawned while I was away and so I did not get any good spawning pictures.

Update: It appears that I have lost this spawn as well. No more crowntails! I am a little sad but am excited to work with the fish I brought back from Germany. Time to change things up and move things on!
