Fish Junkie Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I wonder what you will breed it with ?

scott95 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 So FJ, i am in question at the moment as to how old you are? as you seem to keep wanting myself to rise to said "bait" which in this case is the quoted thread. i do not wish to give you an answer, nor do i feel obliged to give you an answer. i do also not wish to breed this fish, i am in the hobby for the sheer experience and fun of it. if i have 'him' in a communal tank and it breeds so be it. but i will not go out of my way to breed this fish. Now im sure you are very busy trolling other thread in need of a good argument, but if you are looking for one here you shall leave empty handed. i do not wish to pursue my point any further than this, and yet again do not feel obliged to.

scott95 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 The BB at nerang im pretty sure is around the 11 inch mark, mine is around 10cm - 13cm breeding is a complete waist of time if you plan a get rich quick scheme. dont have the room or time.

scott95 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 well i can understand if it is somthing that you do and love doing, but for me it is not. My BB was the largest, most colourful one in the tank beating the others up. and i know for a fact the BB at nerang is female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffy_rana Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 fj your pushing just a bit too mutch .yes x breeds ruin the hobby enough said . please dont ontinue to push it . cross breeds have there place as such and will from know on and in my opinion they dont ruin the hobby so much. dedicated breeders on lineage have their merits and i call a few of em close mates....its really more about the mongrelisation of some breeds thats a lil depressing i guess but we have a place to chat about that............
