Berried girls everywhere

[ineke]

Well I've discovered a quick way to get saddled girls berried quickly - I am not condoning or recommending this as it may be detrimental to the poor girls as they can't get away from the boys. Last night I caught out all my Blue Velvets - there were far more than I thought which was nice- there were a good number of saddled girls- I put them in a large polystyrene box overnight with an air stone in it while I transferred the substrate and water into their new bigger tank. This morning when I caught them out to release them every saddled girl was berried , obviously things do happen in the dark! I am going to have a population explosion in a few weeks :)

Ive done something simmilar. I picked out a couple of heavily saddled females and put them in a breathable bag with a male overnight and bang berried females. Although ive only done it with cherries it definetly works

With a bit of luck it was your boy who was responsible:D

Hope so he will bring some nice colour and strong blue genes to your colony

There are few juvies that are nicely coloured so I'm pretty sure they were from your female she berried up very soon after I put her in the tank- I think he may have got to her while acclimatising them.
