bidkev Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 When I first got this fish as a very small juvie I thought that it had a deformity that can be fairly common to inbred species............incomplete gillplate. Now that it's bigger, I can see that the gill is complete and am leaning towards it being damaged through netting as a fry and therefore ok to breed. Seeing as Zonata/um aren't exactly common and we have to work with what we have, I intended to breed from this fish. Your thoughts would be welcome. kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneself Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yep, agreed- looks like it's been folded over somehow, may even have happened in the egg. Be worth breeding him, I say- if the fry turn out weird you've just got a few feeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
