Re: [GSAS-Member] Want some Female Dario Darios?

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

HA! I'm gonna be SOOOOO interested in seeing these females! I want at
least 3. Just in case (wink). I think I have at least 3 more 2.5 - 3
gallon tanks to get set up.

I'm really starting to think that there are some unstriped males. I am
working with one right now. With lots of live food this critter developed
a very very red head and tail, but no stripes. When I put this critter in
with a normally striped male, they pick at each other, display but no
spawning action. I've tried this 3 times now. The longest I've had to sit
and watch is 1 hour. No spawning action during that period of time. They
sure don't tend to be interested in interacting in the java moss (weak
grin). I'm not able to see any eggs in the abdomen of the unstriped fish,
and the abdomen is semi-translucent. More live food needed? Or are these
simply 2 males?? Needless to say, if I DO get some breeding action going,
I don't intend to use unstriped males (if that's what I've got). Right now
I'm still wondering what on earth I DO have here (sigh). At least they are
fat and happy, although they each have their own 2.5 gallon tank at the
moment.

Betty Goetz - at least I'm having lots of breeding action in the
whitecloud tank.....tons of babies in there!!!!
