This is my oldest male liberty molly. Its between him and his brother(who is almost as impressive physically but nowhere near as impressive color wise) who fathered my hybrids. The footage looks a bit funny because i had to take it from far away, if i get close to the tank they’ll hide.
She’s putting on size nicely and has a bit of an attitude to her. I finally went ahead and paired my sphenops female with the young sailfin and just decided to add the hybrid female in there with them as well. Im hoping the hybrid fem is gravid for the sailfin but if not she most definitely is for one of her brothers, either way im looking forward to the fry
Update on one of my 2 male Latipinna X Salvatoris hybrids. I am highly impressed with their growth speed and vigor. I have one female from this same batch who is currently gravid for a young male latipinna of mine, im aiming for a cool water resistant sailfin like molly with the energy and vitality of the salvatoris.
Funny enough ive been at this project for a while now and in the past 3yrs i have yet to successfully raise a batch of latipinna while on the other hand ive had the Salvatoris about 1.5yrs and im on my 3rd generation. The latipinna grow slowly, are weak against parasites and changing water parameters, and they tend to waste away whenever they are moved from tank to tank. Ho
