Ahhhh!

Those BAD Pigeons! I gave them such strict instructions too!!!!! They never listen to me!

I think Both the giant banana and Pineapple are up in the queensland area, i have at somepoint been to both but cant remember as i was only lil lol

 

[Nicola]

Bad pigeons lol

So have you decided what fish you are going to use to spawn?

 

[SourRoses]

LOL!

We also went on this really amazing horseback riding trip through like, the outskirts of the Outback.. but it was green and some places had sheep

I just remember them calling it the Outback

I know we took a bus.. or ummm.. a train to get there and I remember passing through New South Wales... (I was only 10 LOL) and then on our riding trip they stopped at this cool cave where some famous outlaw dude and his horise hid out

It was such a neat trip though... we rode all day and stopped at these pubs at night so we could rest our tender selves in comfort

Got to ride up and down mountains ny day and swim the horses in lakes and ponds

Sooooo Glad I hadn't watched documentaries on Crocs at that age

It sacres me just remembering being in the water now... Im so darn afraid of the alligators here too

most Crocs are up in the northern part of australia

Now I'm leaning towards spawning Tonto with Glitter..

Because Firefly seems to only be in love with Tinkerbell

Glitter got out of her compartment area while I was messing in the tank earlier and went into Fireflys area ( I switched them so she has his spot after I was done though) an he completely ignored her in favor of Tinkerbell behind the partition.. He chased Glitter off a time or two, like all of an inch did he move to do it

and then a couple times Glitter got right up next to him... and he just ignored her even while she was trying to give him fishy kisses

(shes such a character!) and he just kept staring at Tinkerbell

Glitter really does seem like the most ready to breed of the females... and her brother Tonto seems ready too.. so I think they would be the best choice... I just don't want Tontos fins getting nipped so soon.. or hers

Its really upsetting to see them so beautiful one day and all nibbled on the next.

So Firefly and Tinkerbell I want to try and breed at some point too... but I want to hold off on them a while longer because Tinkerbell is still missing a few scales from the last attempt and I want her to heal up better before I stress her again.

You never know with those things! They could be anywhere!

Crocs walk you know! I saw them! On the discovery chanel... slithering along... and I heard what they were saying too!
They were working on a conspiracy! To slither.. slither along until they got to the ocean (Crocs do that you know)... and then swim across the ocean until they got to Florida and ended up in my backyard.. hiding beside the door to get me when I ventured outside

Maybe move tinkerbell away from Firefly? so he notices the other ladies LOL

So you would be having pretty blue babies?

Do they nibble at eachother when they mate or something?? They heal though?

Silly tinkerbell injuring herself from trying to get into the tank silly fishie.

 

[SourRoses]

Ohh sorry.. I keep throwing all the names out there, Im confusing mom too

It was Glitter, the new girl, blue black who got her head stuck in the hole.. just cause she wanted to be in with the other girl, Tinkerbell.
Tinkerbell on the other hand.. is Fireflys sister.. and I tried to spawn them some weeks ago.. which is how she got hurt.. because Firefly was a bit aggressive and deprived her of a few scales

and it takes a while for those to come back properly.. although shes getting there, I just want her healed better before I try these two lovebirds again. Their spawn a few weeks ago where she got hurt was sucessful though... lots of fertilised eggs... but Firefly ate them.. and what he didn't get, Tinkerbell gobbled

So Glitter is actually healing very well from trying to get in the other compartment... I almost cant see where she hurt herself... and she is sooo ready to breed... she bars up when she sees Firefly and she was one of the ones releasing eggs all by herself and eating them when I was telling you girls about it.


Yeah though... they are pretty agressive with eachother when spawning.. the females will nibble the boys up too. They have this whole 'dance' thing before the actual spawning takes place where they chase eachother around by turns and try to take chunks out of eachother

Ohhhh

lol Nibbling eachother sounds ickki lol. But they would heal quickly

and while they are healing the next lot of spawning could be done by other fishies

Hopefully they don't eat the eggs though :S that would be silly
