What is going on

thats why i breed in pairs .... I want x to spawn with x... not y... so i keep y out of the mix. saves me from having to guess on things, and gives me a 100% sure who the father and mother are. also I can count on colors that I want to get out off the spawning, and see if things breed true or not... you cant do that 100 % in a group spawning... most Ill do is add one extra male to get the calling going heavy then pull him... if it was a slow pair.

I am going to divide up the rainchamber next time i breed them. There are a few hundred tadpoles that hatched out. The blue line ornate female looks ready and should breed with my dark ornate male.

Only one problem with dividing a rain chamber........still can't guarantee the eggs will be fertilized by a specific male & not the one in the next chamber......sperm is released & will fight to invade any egg it comes to first. It would be odd, but completely possible to get a mixed breeding that way if the water is allowed to circulate throughout the entire chamber.

I have a glass company here that builds my tanks. I am going to have a rain chamber built to divide pairs. I noticed that in big rain chambers the amount of fertilized eggs are less than in a small rain chamber.

Solid glass dividers with a drain out the back.
