But what remained survived overnight last night...hopefully the crisis is over.
On top of this, my giants refused to cooperate, at least the male couldn't get his act together. No nest yet again. And he couldn't help himself bullying the female. Even when he started to get his act together and began actually courting her, he just followed her everywhere, instead of dividing his time between her and building a nest. She seemed to get quite tired of him being around her none stop. She run, he'd chase, she'd stop, he'd hover until she ran again - non-stop.
So I've split them up. She's gone into the sorority to meet the rest of the girls, he's gone into the barracks to chat with the boys.
Lots more conditioning to come. Next weekend, is another chance to start another pair in the spawn tank...
Cant leave without a photo so here's the pair I intend to condition this week for preparation to go into the spawn tank next weekend...
Male: Possible Dragon Butterfly HMPK
Female: Possible Marble Partial Pineapple CT
The results should be light bodied combtail butterfly fry. Both parents have excellent lines, form and finnage, so it should make for some very nice offspring.
