Well i decided to share another pair i've been working with. i have had these two spawn a month ago or so and was unsuccessful. her tube dropped again last night so i pulled the divider. she is super aggressive and he has some huge TEETH! she goes straight nuts on him. he handles her very well though. he is a big ole gentle giant with her. they are getting along alot better this time so maybe it will work out. these pics are from the last time they spawned. i havent taken any today yet. I have had some really aggressive females before but, these vietnam KK's are by far out of their minds. "Relentless" is a good word to describe them. well enjoy the pics and i'll let every1 know the outcome in a couple days.

CHEERS!

Robert

Best of luck.

Why is that divider there?

Thanks Bro!

why is the divider there? thats a good question bro!!! you are very sharp when it comes to looking at pics. its a learned technique. the divider is there to keep them closer together. it is from trial and error experience. they dont need space to spawn. thats a big myth! i only let my pairs together when the females tube starts to drop and if you give them to much room when spawning they might not handle business. i never leave them unattended without a divider. NEVER! its kinda like two teenagers that want to try having sex for the first time. if they have the whole house and tv's, games, cell phones, ect. they might get side tracked. but if you lock them in a bedroom together they have no choice but to handle business. LOL!!!

hope no one gets killed in that tight space. I seen it happen before its a territorial thing

lol... a man who speaks from experience. nice! GL!

thank you for the heads up david. i never doubt any advice you give. I know very well how easy it would be for them to kill each other in such a tight space. I keep a close eye on them giving them only short amounts of time without being looked over. so far so good! she has not laid yet and i have to work tomorrow, so i have giving my girlfriend strict instructions on what to do in most situations. she has been doing this with me for a year now so i know they will be fine. again, david, thanks for the concern. i really appreciate it.

It does make sense, fhlover o.O I think it's either that they spawn fast or they kill each other fast xD

LOL!! not gonna let them kill each other bro. i would feel really bad. I always take care of my females. even if it means i have to wait. i will not let them kill each other.

She still hasnt fully dropped her tube and they are doing fine. they are still together though and i dont usually leave them together this long. might separate them for a day to try to induce it

I guess any thing can be done. when it come to breeding. everyone breeds different. BTW G/L on the second time around.

thanks scotty. i appreciate the kind words. i just separated them cause she still hasn't laid. i will open up their space a lil more to see if that helps. she just keeps bothering him and he is a beast. as soon as i separated them they both show a lot more breeding behaviors. i think i will give them more room and put them back together tonight. hope it helps. thanks again

love the smaller one (pressume its the female) beautiful

Thanks Baxtorlex! yes she is female. She is a Vietnam King Kamfa.

Finally! she laid her eggs today around 6pm. she is still laying now He is into it and i still have them together with the tank wrapped with background plastic. i have only peeked on them a few times. everything is looking good so only time will tell. will know Wed. night the outcome and will share with everyone. i'm gonna take the wrapping off and bug them for a couple pics. will post them up in a few.

heres some pics

CHEERS!!

robert

good luck bro

thank you bro

Well sad to announce but not the outcome i was hoping for. heres a pic of the white and partly fuzzy eggs!!



next time i'm gonna use a proven fertile male. not to say he is not fertile but its not looking like it as this was the second try.

Cheers
Robert

Feed your breeding pair with Raw Shrimp in the morning , Cichlid Gold Pellets in the afternoon and Fresh Beef Heart in the evening for about two to three weeks they 'll breed again and will get better result

thanks bro! thats interesting. so your saying diet can improve his fertility?

Thats a very good question I wanna known too, If anyone have a answer besure to let me know
