Good news and bad.
The good news, I have eggs!
I love this line of fish, I really do, lol.
The bad news? I took a look at the beanie and realized I bred him to the wrong female.
The female I bred him to is by Hollywood, out of Ember. Ember is by Full Throttle and out of Shifting Gears.
This is still a good breeding, and I have no complaints, but I want to point out that this is why meticulous records are needed. If I had not had her numbers on her beanie, and went by my memory, I would have messed up.
Not that there is that big an issue, because the lines are so related, but has this been an outside fish, what then?
For the record, this female is nick-numbered 7A17.30.
7 means 2007, the year she was spawned. A is just a place holder, just in case I get over 100 spawns/spawn attempts in one year, (I count spawn attempts as well), then the next spawn after A99 rolls over to B01. 17 is the spawn number for that year. and 30 is her spawn number. She was the 30th fish I jarred.
Her full number is B07-093/F.A15.30. Everything is the same, but B is for Betta Splendens (M would be for mahachia for example) and 093 means she is the 93rd fish I entered into my records that year. And F for female, obviously.
The full number goes in the software, the nick-number goes on a beanie.
As an aside, fish I didn't breed have a different type of nick-number. 7043, for example, 43rd fish entered into the software for 2007. The full number is shorter as well, B07-043/F.
So you see what I mean by names verses numbers? It is way easier for me to think of them as individuals, and think of them by name, then to think of them by number.
As for why I love this fish? he is just a fast and easy spawner. I love this whole line of fish.
Remember if you would, this is a line of fish bred to be good daddies, and they definitely are just that.
