| Would superreds cross with normal bristlenoses? really fancy some but they would need to go in a tank with some normal bristlenoses (Common and Albino)
Thanks

| well as the local expert in Doug has stated before, the super reds came from the albino bristlenose as an abnormality. same as an albino compared to the common (well thats the way its set out in my head, Doug could probably word it out correctly lol). so im guessing they probably would interbreed with the commons and albinos. | |

| Thanks Doug,
What sort of fry would be kicked out if they were crossed with commons? | |

| Seems to me I've seen a couple of posts where super red was crossed with brown and the fry were mostly brown. Read Doug's thread on crosses,please help, that has a lot of info on what people have gotten when they cross different color and fin types. | |
