They look realy cool, def an ancistrus species. Theres a male and female pair and the male is fanning. $300 ouch! Will try take a pic tommorow so people can identify. anyone heard of this kind of fish????
-
I could maybe get a couple of guppies off you if there nice lol. But you can def have them since your here in Cambridge. Hopefuly they will grow to be a male and female! Will check tonight if there still ok and we can orginize a drop off some time next week or something
-
lol dont feel rude! What have you got that you want to spare?
-
the albinos are cool, yeh red eyes and a more pinkey/white colour than the golds (pritty crappy description lol) :roll: Yeh I am hoping my boys can handle her, Iv never actualy seen a female as big as her lol. I use to breed the kribs, def one of the most rewarding to breed. Such good parents! except when they kill their partners tho... I got a couple of small albinos prob around the 4 cm mark that you can have for free if you want a couple to grow out?
-
haha yeh, I have resisted the fancy plecos for soooo long but finaly gave in :roll: that was the easy bit, now to deal with the mrs If she killes me, I will donate my fish to you guys haha
-
yeh you can, the crosses are readily avalible back in Briton where I am from. Like big out of praportion guppies. Havnt seen them over here tho... Wonder if they would be sterile?
-
yeh I got two males, but the female I have is huge and not sure if it will work out. The rest I have are albinos and didnt realy want to mix the genes. Have to wait and see what happens I guess. getting two king tirger plecos today tho!!!
-
haha shot, see they always pull through in the end. Usually just before you give up on them haha. My albino male is fanning like crazy so shouldnt be too far behing you lol. Congrats!
-
Have looked on the net and found alot of info and these guys seem awsome! If any experts out there could give advice on setups exc that would be great. Also where I could get a trio? Never see them in the LPS. Thanks Mark

he has settled down well at home now, had a few rough nights away from his old home but having a great time exploring and battling with the cat.... I called him MAX, I know its not an original name but a name I have had for my imaginary GS for years lol. xxdarnixx I got him form a guy in Hamilton, he breed it with a white alsatian and a normal girl. He has white paws lol -
sacreblue lol Those long fins look soo cool man! Will be looking to get some later this year once all the fish and tanks are going well, and when my girlfriend wont kill me for buying yet more fish haha
-
lol no i dont want an argument either, seperate tanks it is haha They are all beautiful and interesting fish regardless of L# and genetic arguments
-
but I thought if they were both recesive genes then the dominent (brown would not be present)??? 7th form bio is a bit rusty these days hahaha :oops:
-
wow that is soooo cool man!!!! Driving home from work (around 12 at night/morning) there are lots of gold bells (big adults) hopping around the streets next to the lake lol. tempted to stop and catch them, but always too tird lol
-
wow realy that is not what you would expect!!
-
I know the inbreeding with other speciese is a nono and I agree fully. This thread is not intended to cause an argument. just interested in knowing if the albino bristlenoses are albinos of the GBA, and in which case is it acceptible to breed the two together? and if they did would they not mostly come out as GBA's? Advice is needed as I will have a mix soon and if there is an issue will need to split/swap. Mark
-
yeh I thought that was the case, they wont eat them tho? There would be a way round them if they were between large rocks or something like that?
-
I have had kribs and rams with these guys & had everyone breeding. Have a 1.2m,45cm,45cm tank that I wanted to have a colony of yellows and a breeding group of gbas. I have read that the water conditions need to be up there for these cichlids... Will I be able to have plants or will they distroy them?
-
you know how fresh water gish dont realy have that 'fishy' smell?... Sounds like a dumb thing to say lol. But he had a real strong smell like snapper or something you would go fishing for. he jumped out and i had to pick him up from behind the tank, while he struggled and slapped my face lol. he was fine, just a few missing scales
-
Im happy, just bought 6 of these guys (4 females and 2 young) just need a male and I will be back into breeding them. Bristlenoses are still by far my fave fish, full proof haha
-
haha yeh, go for a bit tank. I still have terrible nightmares moving our 70cm aro from tank to tank (after he smashed the glass in) Very smelly to move aswell....
-
I know what its like to have a new born baby, but if you are selling something at that price, mearly repeating that she GUARANTEESSS it isnt realy appropriate... I hope she goes to a nice home
