melrick1 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougstark Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Would make sense if the albino is an albino normal rather than albino GBA. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrick1 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougstark Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I dont want to start an argument here but there are at least some that believe the GBA is a different species to the normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 albinos are albinos of the normal type. GBA's are also a form of the normal type. The L number(144) is considered an error by lots of people. This quote from another forum sums it up well developed from an amelanistic male imported from paraguay and bred with brown and then line bred to bring out "mutation" Has been given L# though this is considered erroneous by many.
