IM SOOOOO JEALOUS!!!!!!!  I wanted those sooo bad.  They are just beautiful...    Like I said in my PM, I'm just happy that you got them out of the potential buyers.  Of course I would be happier if they were swimming in my tank   Definitely if they breed, you gotta hook me up with a couple   Again, nice score, they are beautiful Steve   #4 AJ Total Posts : 37 Scores: 0 Reward points : 680 Joined: 8/2/2005 Location: Hillsdale, MI Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:B&W Occy Pair Saturday, April 4, 2009 7:06 AM (permalink) 0 Awesome looking pair!  I really like the completely black and white ones.

Awesome... Put me in line for a pair These guys spawned on Sunday so they won't hatch for another week, if they make it.   I have three other groups of different types going right now.  Occys, Percs, and Perc/Occy hybrids.  Actually, the Percs should hatch tonight.   #17 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:B&W Occy Pair Tuesday, May 12, 2009 3:18 PM (permalink) 0 The last batch didn't make it but they have spawned again yesterday.  That's a really good sign since B&W Occys are less regular than normal Occys.   Looks like about 200 eggs this time.     #18 1DeR9_3Hy Total Posts : 40 Scores: 0 Reward points : 27 Joined: 2/16/2009 Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:B&W Occy Pair Thursday, May 14, 2009 9:22 AM (permalink) 0 Very cool Tal!  It goes without saying, "put me in line..." Congrats on your productive broodstock!   #19 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:B&W Occy Pair Thursday, May 14, 2009 11:00 AM (permalink) 0 Thanks!   I think I'm going to move the Occys to a larger tank todayso I can pull these eggs and incubate them myself.  Going to be a bit tricky with them all spread out though.   #20 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: 12 > | Showing page 1 of 2, messages 1 to 20 of 33 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
