Insect Direct Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 just to make everyone envyous I paid $5 at 2cm not saying where though Thats a good price, If you dont mind me asking how long did it take to grow them from 2cm up to breeding size/5cm+??

Ktttk Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Just going back to the inbreeding issue.. why out out-cross the GBA with a normal bristlenose and then breed the offspring (which should look like normal BNs but carry the golden gene) with another GBA. The outcome should be an equal number of normal BNs and GBAs with a splash of fresh blood (from the normal BN). I am assuming the genetics of the GBA is similar to albinism (i.e. it is a recessive gene). Correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 maybe a year or so to grow them up. females are now all 7-8cm and the males are all about 9-10cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRSkz Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 The seller was happy to ship once I told him I'd send everything up and walk him threw it. that's ok fishboi it's good they are going to a good home. I was gutted last night when I didn't win them but this morning, upon finding my remaining male with his head stuck in the outlet of the filter (dead), I've decided to just take things slower. I'll be getting babies off a couple people, please pm me if you have any for sale, keep them seperated so I am sure not to put brother and sister together, and go from there.
