Todayc(October 12th 2010) just before feeding my goldies (three oranda, two black moors, two gold fancy tails) I saw all of them rather busy with the gravel.On a closer inspection, I noticed my fancy tail being chased by the male black moor.All those eggs that got released were quickly eaten up others
Out of the blue,I got an inspiration to try out hand spawning with the pair.With all those fishes in one tank I knew I wont be lucky to get even one fry out of the mating.Now I have separeted the fancy tail from the gang as I wanted to keep a close eye on her.As of now she is faring good but since I am not so experienced in this I am dreading ovarian rupture(heaven save my poor baby)
The black moor whose milt I tried to squeeze out for the time being looks okay.He certainly looks more than okay since he moved on to court another oranda female.But one can never be so sure with these tiny ones.I will keep everyone updated on the process.
Update :- date 5 ,december 2010.....
No fries from my spawning attempt but good part is that my fishes are alive .On the third day of spawning I noticed opaque eggs on the bottom of the tank.Thats what happens to unfertilised eggs.Fertilised ones will be almost transparent.By fourth day fertilised ones will start hatching and will turn to free swimmers.....and they grow and live happily ever after...
