IOU1 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I managed to find some snow white albinos aswell. Good luck breeding them, my ones seem very active so will wait and see when we put the females in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keri Anne Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Go Devon!! Looks like we're going to get 3 good lines of the albino snow going here - COOL. That means we can all swap and bug each other - right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I hope the half they are trying to breed with is the female half :lol: Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 you guys don't count me thats sad. I have been working on an albino line aswell. I am crossing carriers over at the moment and then cross over to the albinos after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keri Anne Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 you guys don't count me thats sad. I have been working on an albino line aswell. I am crossing carriers over at the moment and then cross over to the albinos after I didn't realise that you had managed to get "Albino Snows" Rcon. Sorry, last time you talked to me you were still looking. How are you going with them? I have managed to confirm that 2 of my F1 males are fertile which means I have at least 3 good studs counting the dad. Most of my outcross [Albino Snow female to Blonde male with only orange pigmentation showing] have turned out to be male. I've sold and given away all but 4 of my females from this outcross. I've mated 2 back to their brothers and 2 back to Albino Snow Males. Hopefully they'll drop in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 yep. Im pretty keen on the look of the snows. So if you guys start a line then I will swap with you for some of mine to strengthen the blood line abit. Member to crossout and in again so were not all interbreeding just to keep full albino. Looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcon021 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 i was looking for more females thats all, i initially had about 12 females then one by one they started going to a better place. My females are all going to drop soon aswell. Hope i get some of the results that i want.. so sad if i dont cos i have got 6 females that are going to drop. Fingers firmly crossed.

Keri Anne Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Why are all 3 of you in Auckland? /KA sulks I think you should all move to Napier! :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 yea those are the ones. All my females have died and only had half split ones left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Oh yup. Well they new snow albino guppies settled in nicely started having ago at the females and were eating loads. But woke up in the morning to find that they are all gone. So im looking around the tank. Looking and looking then a catfish catchs my eye with its extra large stomach. He had gone and eaten them when they were on the bottom probly resting. Its name has slipped my mind. But it's silver and has wiskers. And start's with "My" or sumthing.. Oh well, ive set up the new 2ft's for the albino's and I can order some in as soon as ive got some more money. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoban Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Okay so where are the pics of these lil pigmentaly challenged beauties.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU1 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 My camera is no good at taking pictures sorry, so you may need to rely on someone else The thing I find with these fish is the way their colours are soooo ( ) light with no dark pigments at all, hard to describe and how they 'change' colour depending on the light, mine do anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Yea the ones i had. They would move about then light would reflect off them, and they turn blue lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got about a dozen growing up now. :lol: fingers crossed. Maybe someone may want to swap a male or two in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU1 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Good to hear rcon, I have a good 20 young growing up aswell, seems that our group has something going Now to create a market for albinos..... :lol: :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 There is a strong market for all nice looking guppys, including albino's. I only have 1 male. Would love to get a female if any body has a spare 1 or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU1 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 When mine grow a bit more I might consider selling some off. I'll let you know caserole when I am about to sell them. The thing is they will mainly be males Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
