SCB12201101LBGB
Goal: Nice Black Green HMs. Looking to refine green into a hunter green.
Male: HM black green butterfly
Purchased from Aquabid seller Nyhm
Comments: nice all around finnage. Can use some work on his dorsal. Anal fin is a touch long. Nice even topline with a nice strong body and even scales.
Female: Black green HM
Purchased from Aquabid seller Nyhm.
Comments: Gorgeous girl. Bit of smudged scales - hopefully that doesn't translate to the fry. Great dorsal to make up for where the male lacks. I suspect she carries DT because of it.
Spawned: 12/12/2011
Free Swimming: 12/15/2011
SCB12201102LMHM
Goal: Continue this multicolor HM line to an f2!
Male: metallic royal blue HM
Bred by me!
Comments: A bit branchy in his anal fin, and his dorsal is a bit weak, but he has a great body and scales. He's very flamboyant and flares at everything. The edges of his caudal are scalloped due to his extra branching.
Female: Metallic royal blue dragon black red butterfly
Bred by me!
Comments: This girl is very dominant. She's being bred to this male in order to bring some more color to him and so that I can get some coppers out of the mix. I love coppers. I'm hoping for some nice marbles or butterflies as well.
Spawned: 12/13/2011
Free swimming: late 12/15 early 12/16/2011
SCB12201103GCT
Goal: Get that male's awesome dorsal into the start of a green black crowntail line.
Male: Turquoise Halfsun
Purchased from Petco (I know, right?)
Comments: Excellent father, amazing finnage, no real spinal issues, long body for a dt, what more can I ask for for that price?
Female: royal blue black ct
Purchased from Aquabid seller 84elmo2001
Comments: Good coloring and topline. Strong rays. Dorsal could use some work, but that's what Finnigan is for. As with most cts her peduncle is a bit weak. This is why I am crossing in a non-ct. It is very hard to find CTs with strong peduncles.
Added to spawning tank: 12/15/2011 - male already has a sizeable nest.
EDIT: Spawned 12/16/2011
SCBPLECOSURPRISE
