Giant, bubblenest, confirm!

We were intrigue when seeing some recent auctions of giants HMPK which show some pictures of the males with bubblenest and in the image you'd see "bubble nest confirm!"

We thought we'd shoot the seller the question. What's the big deal about bubble nest and what does it confirm. Well, it boils down to very simple fact. He was just trying to say that he doesn't sell old aged giants which may not be able to spawn anymore. The bubble nest is a good confirmation that the giant he's selling is still very active and can be spawned. It makes you wonder, whatever happened to the giants that he's selling without the bubblenest pictured, does that mean they are old giants? ;)

We told him that most if not all of giants that we've bought and raised made bubble nest, so that's not really a good confirmation on anything :)

In a way, it was a statement that many if not most of the giants sold in the market are too old. This is understandable since most true giant HMPK will only reach 3 inches length when he's 8+ months. Sure you've got the exceptional ones, but majority will be around that age. Dont you ever trust that advertised aged written on auction sites. No way you can get a 3" giant aged 3, 4, or 5 months old, particularly if it looks like an old giant!

Old age is not so much big deal if you are experienced breeder. You only need one spawn to get to the next stage. However, you will need several tries if you are inexperience and that's when it matters in choosing appropriate breeder fish.

Surprisingly this is a well kept secret from buyers, but there you go, you know about it now ;) Think twice before you purchase that giant, check the picture in detail to see indication of old age. Get your fish from trusted sellers...
