Re: [Killietalk] sex

["Bill Shenefelt" <billshenefelt at hotmail_com>]

I have had some minor experience with two elberte locations.  Foumban 
results were almost always female fry.  This happened when bred, incubated 
and  raised  at about 68 F, when bred at 68 F and incubated and hatched at 
74 F.  With the Kekemense, when bred and raised at 68 F- All males.  When 
bred incubated and raised at 76 F fairly even ratio. So far I cannot seem to 
get the Foumban to breed at 74 F so I don't know what will happen there.  A 
few years ago I did get some Foumban to give me some males at the warmer 
temperature though.
With ogoense GHP 80-24, I raised and incubated some at 72 F and got nothing 
but females.  I bred and raised some at 68 F and got mostly males but now 
get a more even ratio.  With GHP 80-23, I got exactly the opposite results, 
females when cold and males when warm.
A. zygaima when kept warm they breed well but yield predominately males 
unless bred in very soft water and incubated and raised cool, again I used 
about 68 degrees.  I tried breeding them at that temperature but did not get 
eggs from the pairs unless warmer.
