Just thought I would share with those that were interested in having a Pharoh baby. He manged to breed either with Rubert or Princes. Rubert is a Orange Oranda that was Choco, Princes is a all black Oranda.....I have a tun of eggs all over the place.....

Congrats!

Too bad your all the way across the country from me, or I would take one.

Wow, congrats, Koko!! I would take one, but I am also all the way across the country!

If I knew how to ship I would do it

Heres Pharoh I dont have Princes photos yet.

Oh and it had to be Princess cause looking at Rubert and the injury, Its a Boy

Congrats, koko!! Pharaoh is very handsome, i'm sure the frys gonna be as good-looking as him!

where do u keep the eggs btw?

and have u got any pics of Rubert & Princess?

cheers

Princess will have hers taken this week.

I removed the eggs to day into a 2 gal Eclipse tank that I bought today. I used water from the main tank, cut the leaves off of my plants that had the eggs on it, kepts the water level low, and using the light to keep it heated.

ooohhhh....congrats koko!I'm sure you'll have very beautiful miniature Pharohs If only I was anywhere near you!I would love one....
Frys are exciting..I miss raising frys...my fish somehow forgot how to spawn

Now will you look what happened! And that just happened today or yesterday?? That Pharoh, just waiting until nobody looks, and then WHAM! Who showed him how to do it?

Darn! Maybe someone can tell you how to ship? Im sure all of us who want one would pay shipping!!!

I want one! The babies are going to look gorgoues.

Just think... you could soon have your very own breeder award!

I can't wait for baby pictures! Oooohh... little bundles of joy are on the way!

i think it was TD's guppies that showed him, I guess 2 years of having the tank next to his got his attention.....Or the fact that Princess is a young Black Oranda, I guess she smelled good to him....

That is great news! Congratulations, koko!!

But lets see if he fertilized them

Two years - boy talking a late bloomer here! You must be so happy! FErtilized or not - that is an occassion to celebrate!

Yeah man I was dancing around the house......you should have been here.....Its just so cool....Im hoping I get something out of this

That's gotta be an unbelievable feeling. I remember I was kinda sad when I found out both of my guys were, well, GUYS!

I would love to take one off of your hands if the opportunity presented itself...unfortunately Chicago is still too far!

Well lets see if Pharoh gets some babies then I might be able to look into shipping

Good job Pharoh!! I bet he's feelin' all proud and manly right about now

YAY For Pharo!!! What a Studly Fishie you have there Koko!!


When's the due date? Or are we still waiting to see if they are fertilized? How exciting for you!! Great News, If the offer is still pending when the babies arrive I would be willing to adopt a CA Fishie..

There's no way that you can tell me that Pharoh's going to be a Daddy----then to add on that it may be Princess,and not expect me to be waiting for my fish!!!!! I will be the shipping Guinea Pig,so start reading!!!!CONGRATS!!!

Congrats on the spawn Koko, i know its something youve always wanted and i too hope they were fertilised.
Hope you keep a piccie diary to show us all.

Woo hoo to Pharoh - the little stud muffin And he's such a looker too - should have beautiful babies

Just noticed that Pharoh has a very uniquely-shaped wen! very nice

koko, u said the moved the eggs to a 2-gal hex tank, but I read that goldfish eggs should never be removed out of water or is it ok for a short period of time?

Congrats, koko. Hope they're fertile! I would suuuure looove to have one of them frys!! I'm only 3/4ths the way across the country from you

koko, my fins are crossed for fertilised eggies!
if i lived on the same side of the world as you and had room, id sure take one black oranda and chocolate oranda? those babies are gonna be an amazing colour

Oh, boy, Koko... please look into shipping to Canada...

We're all counting our fish before they're hatched, eh?

I moved my fish's eggs out of water so switch them into another tank, and they hatched fine.


Koko, congrats! Pharoh is finally a daddy maybe? Keep us updated, I'd take a baby too! Read "Shipping Spud To Florida" again!

congrats hun!!
its a shame im all the way over in England.
just remember to take care of yourself aswell as the eggs

Well update we have about 7-9 eggs that have black dots and lines in them. The rest of them I had to take out cause they were very white in color and some were looking like it was going to fungus among us

They Hatched

YAY for Pharo!!!! Babies, Babies, Babies!! Whoooo hoooooo

I think there are about 6 of them that I can see jumping around....they didnt want to move when I had the light on, so the light has to remain off......

Awww... they've got their daddy's eyes...

...they're awful cute, anyway. In my opinion, at least.

Oh man!! How have I missed this thread???

While the pictures are alittle dark, I can see them with my heart.
I know you probably have a long line of people wanting them but if by chance there is a small one not spoken for..............consider him/her a native Michigander.

Really that is awesome!! I hope they all survive!!! Man those are going to be some great looking fish. I don't know if I have seen mom, can you post a pic?

Okay the first two are Mom her name is Princess

Second is the dad Pharoh

That is sooooo great. I love the pictures. You must be extraordinarily proud of your new babies.....

Please keep us updated as they grow.

Adorable little eyeballs....

Aww they are both beautiful fish Koko!! I can't wait to see the babies in better light. I bet they are pretty babies:)

What a couple Pharoh & Princess is! can u ship to australia by any chance?

pity there are only 6 fries though

They hatched already? Boy, that was fast! And so exciting!!
Now, remember, no food until they are swimming freely - otherwise it just spoils the water, they don't eat until they swim around.
So, so happy!!

Oh she is gorgeous, and already adding to your house of fish. She is such a little asset.

I do believe those are going to be some nice LOOKING fish.

They are the most beautiful little pairs of eyes!!!!!!! I saw the one that's mine!

woohooo, *jumps on paino again*
congratulations koko! babiiiesss

Congrats Koko,

This is very exciting! Can't wait to see pics as they grow. I also would love one but since there is only six and a loooooong waiting list

Maybe the next batch. *fingers crossed*

yay! i knew he had it in him! glad he finally got round to it

How the New Borns doing today?

They are just clinging to there leafs and the tank wall....Look like tiny slivers

I had to rush home cause I was so worried about them :kazy

Oh you are such a good gammy, rushing home to see the babies.
I am glad they are doing good, still 6 right?
Hey I have a 1 in 6 shot for one, I'll take those odds.

How many you keeping? I assume more than 1?

Awww Good to hear they are doing well!! Have they all been spoken for? Can't wait to see some more pics of those lil buggers!!

So funny, I can totally picture ya rusing home to check on em, What a good fishy moma!!
