nice find. wouldnt u need a chiller if u found it at our waters?

yep i agree, really depends on the types of plants. most plants will do very well just under good lighting so if ur tossing up between MH or CO2 system then i would go for MH. plants like pennywort/moneywort, cabomba, Ambulia, tape grass, water sprite..........these more common plants u see in LFS grow like weed anyway under most conditions.

yeah ur boss is right as u never really remove all gene when breeding so all albino will hold some dominate gene and in this case so much so it effects the appearance of the offspring. keep us updated

u have 6 royal panague what size are they?

if only it was that easy. how big is this tank?

co-dominance is when u have two dominant genes coexisting in appearance, incomplete dominance is when u have a dominant gene that is not able to fully suppress the recessive gene. i could be wrong but this is how i understand it.

this is what planetcatfish has to say under their catelog

breed the normal looking het back with its albino parents/siblings would give some albino off spring. breeding two normal looking het would most likely come out all looking like normal BN. if this is the case and u do have an albino looking het i would try and find out which one its is by breeding them with separate male and female. much easier than waiting a year to set ur own strain.

yes ur right but just because it's apparent is an albino doesn't mean it cant be a het. its more likely for a het to look more of the dominant gene but its not impossible for it to take the appearance of the recessive gene. we call this an incomplete dominance. most GBA would know this because every now and then ur get one with a black/brown patch where the dominant gene has shown though, creating this incomplete dominance appearance where both genes are presented in appearance but in this case from ur photo the dominate is hidden. like i said it could just be normal as i've not breed Albino BN before so i dont know what their fry looks like.

nice pics and congratulations on ur spawn. not having breed these my self i can not tell u for sure. PM rcon021 as he has breed them a few times. albino is an recessive gene so its not surprising if some of them turn out to be normal as they would still carry the gene but its just not visible.

has there been any type of fish that u've tried to breed and not been successful with ?

its already looking great. keep us posted. good choice of plants

fabric shops like spot light. some cheap as $1 a meter for 1.4m wide.

i second that. yet to be any real recording of breeding these fish. all rumors and one report by Larry Vires with out pics. not only is it hard to find them at a decent size to try and breed, they're very territorial especially to their own kind. thats why u never see more than one keep in the same tank.

how deep is that bamboo? nice shot.

there is not much to read. here are the sexing and breeding part.

nope there has been quit a few successful breeding records already with the first only couple of weeks after its been on the market. search and ur get a few forum ppl telling their experience of breeding this fish. i cant seem to find the one i was following but if had pics of different stages. most ppl compare them to be as easily breed as danios.

depends on the strain quality ur breeding from some only takes couple of months and some will take well over a year then some will never change

:lol: :lol: thanks

and ask for what? just lead weights?

i keep and breed my around 22 -23C.

what about the ones that comes in different sizes as it looks like its been cut from a large sheet. what are those called? and where can we buy a sheet of that stuff?

the only one i want from in there we're not allowed. the Japanese moss ball

yeah i might have some lying around u can have.

the only one i know of and only seen them for sale on trademe. haven't seen them on auction for a while though.
