Breeder's Registry Breeding Poll for RC

Morgman, Vert20, rsman,

This is a great idea. Do you have any problem with me registering as I am only now in the process of building a breeding system?

I am really loooking forward to seeing the result that are returned.

Thanks again

No problem at all. The surveys are going to be moved to the commercial site ... I will post here when that happens. The data will be saved and still available. The responses have been pretty good, got some interesting answers to some questions.

Go thru the results if you are up to it. Lots to learn there.

Thank you!
 
Stephen,

Maybe it's time we gather the data and throw it into some tangible charts or graphs? What do you think? I will work on that if you want.

Great job guys, I just added my A. Clarkii data. You mentioned that this was SQL, I think some queries are in order. I'm a network admin, not a DBA or programmer, but couldn't you make an open ended form that would allow me to search by "hatch rates based on tank temp" or "larvae survival based on day switched to NHBS."

It's an awesome source of info, but without success rates, it really doesn't tell me anything other than what other people are doing, right or wrong. I just got my first hatch through metamorphasis, 10 out of 50 aint bad for a first timer, but should my info as a newbie with less than 20% success really be given the same weight as someone who gets 80%?

Regardless, it's an awesome resource. I'm looking at it from a newbies standpoint though. What I would love to glean from it would be "what I am doing different than breeders with higher success rates", that's where the true benefit is.

So, after my long newbie rant, I vote to add initail # of larvae, and # reared successfully.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Hiya Jason, I am the user formerly known as Vert20 :D

Thanx for getting the data in on your Clarkii pair. As time permits I am working on getting some graphs of current results. It is a pre-made packaged survey tool without much control over HOW the forms are handled. We can create surveys for those to complete and we can tally those results. I had originally hoped that users registering could return and finish previously started or see which surveys they have completed, but even that does not appear to be the case. I am still checking with the vendor on that.

On a Side note, how is life in WF? I am from there originally and most of my family is still there. Good to see the small towns on the boards...

That's funny Stephen, every time I see your name it sounds familiar to me....hmm. I graduated from Rider in 87, is it possible we are close to the same age?

Life in the Falls is OK, need more good pet shops though. We did get a Petco (if you like ich), and Natures Half Acre is still great, as always. It used to be boring, until I started breeding fish...now i don't get out much :D

For all the new people who are interested pay the $20 for Joyce Wilkerson's Clown raising book, if has alot of pictures of everything she mentions.
 
For those that have been trying to get to the surveys the past week or so, my apologies. The sql server died and I didn't realize it until last night.

It has been replaced, and all the data has been saved and restored to the new server.

Let me know if you find any problems.
 
I am a newly successful breeder and thought I would participate in the RC survey. Unfortunately, the link is not working for me. It looks like it's been a good while since the last post in this thread. :( Has the survey site link been changed?

Hope all are having great days!
