Insect Direct Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I saw an albino bristlenose labeled as "Yellow Temmincki Ancistrus" in Animates today and it looked like the other albino bns ive seen but abit lighter in clolour and maybe abit more yellow around its mouth! Was I just seeing things or is there other species of albino bn's in nz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I did ask the chicks working there if its was another species but they couldnt find it in there book and werent sure. But the more I think about it maybe it was just a standard albino bn that was a lil bit off colour, the only other thing that really made me wunder was why theyd label it as above and not just as an albino bn, maybe they were trying to make it sound fancy. Anyway if anyone knows whether there is indeed another species of albino bn please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Temmincki look pretty similar to someone that doesnt know cats well (when i first saw them i thought they were overgrown BN lol) so perhaps thats why its labelled as one?

Insect Direct Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I must admit the gals in there were helpfull but 1 in particular said "theres no such thing as an albino bn, theres an albino pleco" I doubt whether she had even seen the 1 in the shop as it was definately a bn, so youve gotta wunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
