[phish]

Day 2

There are about 10 to 20% of eggs that have eyes form, the rest 80 to 90% are white and are dead. I hope these hatch, been trying several attemp and finally this time i see the eyes form. Got my fingers cross...

pics not that great but black specs are eyes...

And hybrid peacocks, mbunas. Hmmm, Seems African hybrids are ok, but SA hybrids are controversial? What gives?

Im so excited right now, i got some wrigglers. Theres about 10 to 20 of them wiggling and about 7 to 8 drop and still wiggling.

Did I miss that in the rules somewhere?

We are just joking with your apparent loathing of hybrid fish. Well, certain ones, anyway. )

When I went to the Spring Auction 2008 or was it the fall 2007.. cannot recall, I was told that all fish sold where not to be hybrids with the exception of Discus. I could be complete wrong and if I am then I am truly sorry for the misunderstanding.

Hey Jesper. Flowerhorns, Blood Parrots, Black Saltys, Guppy X Endlers, hybrid peacocks have been sold in previous HAS auctions. They can be sold, but marauder_77868 would rather they be chopped up and used as fertilizer!

[marauder_77868]

I just don't like the stuff coming from the far east that comes from the same places that dyes, tattoos and mutilates fish. Flowerhorns and Parrots are a big part of their business. Most of the peacocks in question are line bred which, to my way of thinking, is very different. The only place where we don't do hybrids though, as a club, is in the show. Don't know who you got the no hybrids in the auction rule from Jesper, but it should not have been the case. The only thing we try to keep out of the auction when we catch them are illegal fish and plants as defined by parks and wildlife.
