I.D. please

what is he?

a handsome male albino bristlenose

that is what I thought. I have about 100 babies out of him and my female the reson I ask is I also get dark ones from thier batches also.

My female is Albino also so I not sure how that works cus according to that post Doug a albino crossed with a albino only results in albino. So would these be L144 Albino's?
thanks for your guys help.

I doubt it would be an L144 albino... would be a losing proposition as L144 are worth so much more than common albinos. L144 are prized for their blue/black eyes. But you never know with albinos what L# the parents were. 99.9 chance they are common in my opinion.

this isnt the best pic but this is one of the dark babies I got. will this beet help determine

here it is.

that dark baBY LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE BABYS I GOT WHEN I CROSSED A L-144 WITH A ALBINO THEY KINDA LOOK LIKE SALT AND PEPER UNTILL THEY GET ALITTLE OLDER THEN THEY TURN MORE BROWN

That dark one came from both Albino parents.

There are at least two genes at play when it come to colour in bristlenose. I actually suspect its more like 3-4 but that is where the issues like this come from. Where it would be interesting to see is what sort of fry he makes

Doug you mean this dark little one, to see what kinda fry he makes?

yeah

hey DOUG what do you think the babys will look like when i cross a long fin albino female with a short fin super red male , i just put them together a few mins ago

50:50 split of longfin:shortfin albinos i reckon

im hoping to get a few long fin reds

I dont think mixing super reds with any longfin would lead to longfin super reds in the first lot of batches. i think it would take a fair bit of line breeding the young to finally achieve what your looking for. thats probably why they arent as readily available as shortfin super reds. only time iv ever seen pics of a longfin super red was when another member here on bn world posted pics of some. Im guessing somewhere like germany have perfected them but they havnt reached the UK or US yet...

i agree that there is not any here in the us. i have a friend that has had the short fin reds for many yrs and has been breeding to get a long fin red for 5 or 6 yrs now. im first on his list to get some as soon as he gets long fin reds.
