F1 Albino Bristlenoses (3/4 inch) - S.Wales Area

this is really getting to me now, so i got in touch with the guy who i purchased them from,

this is what he said,

Dont worry what other people think, i can assure you they are one hundred percent F0 wild caught, surley you would have realized this when we picked them up
as the carton with them in was fresh from peru, they have never seen a tank before, when we met at the LFS we split the delivery between us, and i still have supporting paperwork,

so here is my theroy where do they come originally from a River = wild not tank all the time

where do plecs live in the river most of the time, in crevices and bury in the substrate = wild

imported to uk from Peru for me and collector never seen a tank before = F0 wild caught

babys raised from them = F1's

so what part of they are not wild caught are they please ? Please tell me!!!

SORRY to bang on about this but i paid alot of money for my albinos more than you would in a shop or breeder, purely for the reason Wild Caught

well i believed you mate....and going off what you have just said then they are 100% F0....and the baby's F1...

Sorry if I upset ya, but I was curious as I believed that albinos in the wild wouldn't have survived very well at all. The good thing out of this though is that I have learned something new, and clarified it for others too.

Nawww

I was more worried that I had upset the apple cart. But I don't mind being proved wrong, that's how we learn, and as long as nothing is malicious then I can't see a problem.

so my offspring that hatched 26th Dec are indeed F2??

Even better if they are (better up the price!!) lol

I still have 20+ left, grab them now while you can
