Here's a forum of my spawn I did to see what the outcome would be. I use breeding to research genetics. I took a female, from a friend of mine halfway across my country (photo creds to her <3), and a male from a local fish store. The female was a grey/blue marble hmpk half dumbo and the male was a large average veiltail. His name was Tilikum. I put Tilikum on the other side of a divider in my sorority tank. He decided the new girl was super gorgeous and wanted to get serious with her, so he built her a nest to prove himself. So I tossed them in with each other (female in a jar for a couple days). They flirted and such and he built a nest. I released her and they spawned while I was on a hiking trip for the day. Rest in comments because there's a picture limit. Pfft. You can't have this story without pictures if they're available.

They hatched two days later (January 27th) and Tilikum was busy taking care of all the little guys! They decided soon after that they're able to care for themselves so their daddy wasn't needed. He went back into his aquarium and into depression.. He missed his babies.

They even tried to build their own little bubble nests in the grow out tank! This was made after about a month and a half old. Here's a couple of the males now! (June.. ish) Their parents have passed on and now these two are carrying on both the traits. More as time goes on!
