:) I think I'm going to start setting up a couple new spawns on Thursday or maybe next weekend.

I'm thinking of the following:
(1) Blue mask HMPK pairs (:Ohlalala They are beautiful)
(2) Mustard copper dragon HMPK (Their form needs to be better but I figured I can just try F1 first and see if any of the fry have better form)
(3) Hmmm... Orange dalmation x Saruwat orange? Maybe.

Now, I want all of these to start at around same time. I figured that way, once I take the males out, I can just throw all the fry together in the growout tank.




I was wondering what I should do.
Should I...
( A ) spawn them in 3 separate tanks, and have each daddy take care of the fry until they can be put into the growout tank
... OR ...
( B ) spawn them in 3 separate tanks, but move all the eggs to one daddy's tank and have one daddy take care of all 3 spawn until I take him out?



Method B would save me from having to do water changes on THREE tanks. But I am a little worried if daddy would be too tired?
Method A... omg, I have to do water changes on THREE 10 gallon tank almost every day?! *faint* I might as well drop out of school then.
If method B doesn't work, I will just do one spawn at a time; but that means I need to choose which one I want to do first. :unsure:








:\ Or maybe I should wait another month for my juvies to get a bit bigger and do an F2 with them?

If you are choosing one.... do the blue mask!!! ;)

Sorry but A is the way to go. Also putting all the fry together might make it really hard to know for sure what fry are what as they grow. With limited time my advice would be to pick a color and work that line. Don't get burned out trying to do to much.
