Bristlenose fry @ 14 days old

As the titles say the parents are a male Bristle (regular) and a female Bristle (Green Strain) - So this is my first post back on the forum for a while - All I did differently was to remove all of the corydoras from the tank - I had a growing shoal of peppered cory that were growing in numbers so I rehoused them. 5 days later it's egg city in the pleco tank.
I'm not sure what the babies will be classed as with a regular father and a Greenstrain mother, any ideas?

im not too sure but im thinking it would depend on the strength of the green strain. if the mother comes from a week strain (common in her bloodline) then i would have to say the fry will probably be mostly if not all common coloured. i wouldnt mind seeing a pic of the mother as the green strain isnt something im that familiar with. i know of it but it was my understanding its a rare strain and hard to come by. rarely hear people talking about it. probably non existent down here in the aus oh and congrats on the fry and actually having a green strain bn

I'll get right on that - I was going to make another vid soon anyway I'll try to get the parents in

Hi,I have never heard of a green strain bristlenose either,be nice to see some pics and may i ask where they came from please?

I may be wrong but I believe the the Green strain is a colour morph of the common, often called a Green Dragon Bristlenose in the States.

There is clip of one on on YouTube HERE

I will try some pics tommorow - The fish came from Wharf Aquatics (Derbyshire) I paid between £6 - £8 (8 AUD - 11 AUD) for the fish as a fry so believed it to be a rarer species than the common. The tank seemed to be all female, finding a male has been a quest. I keep checking back hoping more will turn up.

I'm not an expert but i think your description is correct about it being a morphed colour although I'd say she looks more like a common (With Green Spots) than the one in the vid (if that makes sense)

I will get some snaps or a vid tommorow if poss.

I look forward to seeing them

Looking forward to seeing these... any pictures yet....??
