Jammos Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 hi i'm just wondering how to get hold of a list of the breeder contacts and what breeds they ......breed. Of course!! so any help would be appreciative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 I think there is a list of breeders from the different fish clubs, but not all people who breed fish are on it. I breed Golden Blackeyed Ancistrus (Bristlenose) but i'm not on any list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammos Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 thanks everyone. how often do they all spawn? and what kind of prices are they as none of them you ever see in pet shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 My GBA spawn around every 3 weeks, i sell them for $15 which for the same size (50mm) in LFS are around $34.95, seen them for $24.95 (30mm) at LFS and adults are $64.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caserole Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 yes, the 1 in there at the mo is almost full sized female Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plecs Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 the small GBAs at Animates are about $80 i think. they can order them in for you. plecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I've had some success with plecs - have in the past successfully bred Spotted clown plecos (Peckoltia brevis), Butterfly plecs (L52) - hoping to get them going again, banded whips (Rineloricaria cf eingenmanni), common ancistrus (which the federation lists as Ancistrus lineolatus - haven't looked into it to see if this is correct), Colombian plecos (Loricaria sp "Colombia") - which are kind of cool in that they're lip-brooders. In the close but no cigar catergory (ie spawned, hatched, died) are Crocodile cats (Rineloricaria lancelota ?), Twig cats (Farlowella sp.), Royal whiptails (Sturisoma panamensis) and Rubber lipped plecos (Chaetostoma cf thomsoni).

caserole Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Rob , do you have the gold nugget pleco, with intentions to breed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Stu - I don't have any gold nugget plecos. Jammos - I'm not really attempting much with Plecos at the moment, there's some corys I'd like to get going and also some small rasboras - but finding time is difficult.

Jammos Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 ok thankyou for answering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calow Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I have a pair of the common brown bristle nose. They have just spawned and much to my amazement some of the young are brown and others are Golden Black eyed, about 20 of them. I guess this is all good considering what you are saying about the golden ones price wise. If I was selling them to a shop what price should I expect to get and the same if I sold them through Trademe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 How old are the fry? As far as i know it's impossible for normal b/nose to have GBA. If per chance they are they have come down a lot now, a very well known LFS in Mt Eden has small ones for $19.95 which is the cheapest i have seen them in a lfs. Pricing is up to you really.

Billaney Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 the one in Animates Wellington when i went in a couple of weeks ago was a full size male , maybe they sold him now got a female ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calow Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 The fry are only two weeks old. I have enquired at the shop I got the parents from and they tell me when they bred the parents they had a yellow one in the tank and what I have is more than like why I have some brown and some yellow. It will be interesting to see what they turn out like as they get older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
