Got the six foot tank moved onto the floor in the fishroom and set it up to hold a pair of xanthic carrier jags. My mate Ian is lending me his female to look after while he's away in Africa. As a result, phase one of our xanthic jag breeding program has started. The two fish have been busily cleaning a spawning site all weekend, so I have high hopes for a large spawn in the near future, 25% of which will be xanthic, just like their grandfather:
The two four foot tanks in the fishroom still both have high nitrite levels, which is bad news, but hopefully I can doo some big water chages next weekend. Hopefully the sponge filters will kick in soon!
BULLETS:
- Female Honduran Red Point improving after treatment with Sterazin. Trying to fatten her up with eggs so I can reintroduce her to the male. I recently found out that they are probably 'Rio Danli' strain.
- Moved JD x EBJD pair into their own tank.
- Shifted the two spare Bangui jewels to Simon in exchange for five of his home-bred Blockheads (I really hope I got at least one female in there!). This means I now have 7 Blockheads in one 24" tank in the fishroom.
- Put a pair of cutteri in the 30" office tank. Used the male withe the most red in his fins. All my female Cutteri are showing their egg-laying tubes now.
- Festae have started to pair.
- I have HRP x Convict fry and Bangui fry this weekend.
