Do the white clouds cross breed?

Do the white clouds cross breed?

Gold and standard are the same species. Vietnamese is a different species, so probably not.

They can be tough to tell apart when small - golds start out white as fry, turn brown, then fade to gold again as they get larger.

Bob Bock crossbred regular and vietnamese white clouds, but as far I can remember, the offspring were sterile.

Becca,

Save me some micagemmae, please. I can pick up over the holiday weekend, if that works. I'll take a dozen, if possible.

Blaise, I feel like you could probably have 3 dozen if you wanted them... The pond might be more fish than water these days.

Bob Bock crossbred regular and vietnamese white clouds, but as far I can remember, the offspring were sterile.

So I tried to look into this last night and it seems like there are some reports of spawning but eggs not being fertile. I separate mine for spawning so that I know what is what, but the micagemmae have spent some time housed with the gold white clouds. The fry look distinctly different early on, similar for a few weeks, and then diverge in color again. I've not noticed them spawning and, honestly, the gold adults don't spend a lot of time with the micagemmae adults. My plain ol' white clouds are in a separate tub with some drapefin barbs. The golds spent some time in a separate tub as well because I wanted to ensure I got some fry out of them (their fry have an easier time getting eaten because of their color), but I did recently toss them in the big pond to throw some green neons out there.

I do have a 140 gallon stock pond which seems to have eaten the dozen Desmopuntius hexazona I added earlier this month.... Haven't seen one in ages.

Huh. That's odd - it seems like they'd do well in those circumstances.

That's what I thought. Maybe they're shy. (Ha! They're barbs. It's not in their nature.)

Water lettuce still available?

 

[FishEggs]

Water lettuce still available?

Unless for some reason the pond boils off there's always water lettuce available.

 

[Becca]

Water lettuce still available?

Yes. I cannot promise that it doesn't come with fish eggs, but that's usually a bonus.

 

[FishEggs]

I can promise I wont come with it.

 

[Becca]

Bump. I'll be around today. Some of the hyacinth is close to flowering and there's loads of water lettuce still available.

 

[CichlidDan]

Which white clouds do you have left and how many?

 

[Becca]

Which white clouds do you have left and how many?

Lots of all of them.

 

[CichlidDan]

Lots of all of them.

I’ll have to check back in a couple weeks I just noticed last night a fish in the tank they are going into has Columnaris or fungus.

 

[Becca]

Bump!

I still have lots of everything and I'm changing this up a little.
