Been putting together a few mixed bloodlines.
Over some time put together two alb m, and two alb females,
Also 1 common lf female w/calico gene and 1lf common f, w alb gene + 1 common lf male with calico gene as well.
For some time and with many caves nearly all the females trying to spawn with the largest alb m, now close to 15 cm.
Have got many spawns of crosses with the lf common and albino sf. Have sold in the hundreds.
Could not get the lf girls to spawn with the lf m, the larger albino males would chase him from the caves and the girls seem to want the larger alb males.
Recently bought another tank and separated the 4 large alb 2m 2f into one tank and left the 1m lf common with the 2 common lf f.
Both tanks have now got heaps of fry, the large alb have been producing between 50 - 100 fry per batch, fry every where.
I finally got my first batch of the lf females with the lf male, although the sellers told me that the lf had the extra genes I wasn't certain.
Well this week I got my first lf with lf spawn to leave the cave, I got lf calico, common and albino fry, from a pair of common lf's.
Quite chuffed,
I recently got four more lf's from Qld. although all four are commons they all have different markings and colouration. Will be some time before the new ones are old enough to breed but looking forward to seeing the outcome.
I am one happy chappy
