Quarantine Tank in Place for New Loaner Arrival

exwizard · 03-15-12, 04:59 PM

I am getting a male Bloodred Motley Corn shipped to me on loan for the purpose of breeding with Schatzi, my Amel female. I have his tank set up in a completely different part of the house where he will spend his initial time in quarantine. Once that is done, I will pair these two up and see what happens.

Im really looking forward to this whole thing and I want to personally thank you, Shmoges for making all of this possible. This is going to be a fun experience for me and Im stoked!

Woot! Good luck!! I hope you get lots of little babies out of the pairing

Thank you. Me too.

Whats going to be even more fun is the down the road in a few years when I will be breeding a pair from that clutch of multihets to produce a variety of a lot of different morphs.

That was my original plan with Carl and Schatzi and now this plan looks like its back on track.

Its a learning experience for us both, I enjoy it!

Can you post a pic of the happy lovers?

exwizard · 03-15-12, 06:02 PM

When theyre paired, yes. Right now, the male hasnt arrived yet and then theres quarantine, so it will be some time but when that happens, pics will follow.

Gungirl · 03-15-12, 06:04 PM

oh I just meant pics of each of them in general.

exwizard · 03-15-12, 06:10 PM

I can do that, For now, all I have is pics of Schatzi. Shmoges can either post one of his male now or I can when I get him.

Nice looking!

exwizard · 03-15-12, 06:15 PM

Thank you.

I know this looks rather plain compared to the stuff Ive seen on this forum but it works for a quarantine tank for a Corn. The left side has a UTH pad and both sides each has a hide. The water dish is in the middle and its all clean and ready to go.

This is the 20L that Schatzi was in before but its all been sterilized. Again, the Pepsi shells on top act as shields to keep the cats out and they are firmly anchored with the pins that are also clipping the screen top in.

I hope this will do Shmoges and if you have other suggestions, Im open to that as well.

wow, can't wait to see the babies from this pairing, both are very good looking corns.

I did a corn calc on there known genetics and he will just get normals with hets so in a couple years he could get another female and breed the babies back to the mother.

The male is bloodred motley and I "think" he is het anery because after breeding him to a snow and an anery corn we got very similar clutches, 1/2 normal 1/2 anery. I think he should pick up a het bloodred female because he will have to go to 2nd generation to get bloods I think if that makes sence?
