WaRz0r Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hey guys and gals, I have just had my rivulatus's lay a batch of eggs :) My male is a very large gold saum and my very small female is a white saum. Is this normal for these different types to interbreed? and to what outcome of the colour of the tail should I expect on the babies? Thanks Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikrman Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 You'll get a mix of both but the orange on the tail won't be anywhere near as nice and aright as two golds doing the deed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRNOS Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've had a pair like that, 100% gold/orange offspring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaRz0r Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Its now been a couple of days and a couple of eggs have gone white (dead) but most of them i can see a little fry inside the egg. Can i now remove the rock from my main community tank into my fry tank ? Is that the best way to save the fry from getting eaten? Should i move the mother as well? or leave her in the main tank? Thanks in advance all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadFishFloating Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 white and gold are different species. Its best not to mix them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juzz Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 correct me if im wrong but do the male whites have a larger head hump when older as compared to the golds and generally somewhat shaped a lil different in the body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffy_rana Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 correct me if im wrong but do the male whites have a larger head hump when older as compared to the golds and generally somewhat shaped a lil different in the body? on the ones i keep its true. the whites are deeper, a little shorter and get better head growth. i do have a pair of golds where the male has nice nuchal development but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
