Introducing Zeus & Hera

My 8 month old dragon siblings, hopefully a pair someday. They have double tail in their genes. See how high Hera's dorsal is.
Hera's got Lila's side of the 10g divided and Zeus (more pix of him in thread)got his own 10g to explore.
Enjoy my newbies!!

Thanks MM. I love them much more than I thought I would...the red is really deep and dark. Zeus has this cute little personality on him, as does Hera. I can't wait to see what they will be like in a week or 2.

Nope not at all as of so far. These guys are laid back Nova Scotian Betta.
Hera and BB have the moments when they get an attitude with the other, but not much. Hera was raised in a sorority so she isn't as aggressive as she normally would be.

Wow, Allie.. they're a couple of little stunners. I bet they'll have all the personality (and royal attitude) that our Rocky has.

Oh noooo. You're falling in love. Just what you didn't mean to happen. How are you ever going to breed them?

I don't know?!! I'll be nervous the whole time now. I am going to trying to get 2 more pairs before the end of trans shipping season here.

Thanks.
I just found out that it wouldn't be wise to breed them now. Because they both have that hump it could cause complications and deformities with the fry...so I have to find another pair or two for sure now.

Congrats!
Pretty much every pix shows it. See how their back along the dorsal goes up...your double tail fella should have it too.
I can breed them, but not with each other.

OK, I see it now....What causes this? I didn't get the black double tail boy...I traded him for Maui my MG boy....Steve did not like the black boy so I let him have his way lol

I am not a fan of the double tails myself...tho the black coloring was amazing. Maui is much prettier, errr handsome.
I am not sure, but it got something to do with the double tail genes. I have noticed it even on some plakats on AB.
The hump with out the double tail is a no no for sure. Someone said off another site that I could breed them with another type and the hump should go away in the next generation. So that's what I'll do when I have the time to pick out fish and the money. I'll find two or more different types of HMs. One to breed with each of the dragons, and to mix and match.
