Devon Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 If i brought some bncf from a lfs and when they got older they breed would there be problems e.g deformaties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new zealand discus man Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hi Most stock in nz will be from same breeding..Its possilbe that different lines are here but most importers have been buying the same supplies from most likely singapore..and then being re-breed.. I have Ancistrus Bushinnose in Quarantine from Peru..about 70 mm They are wild caught..and are from different rivers.. Thats the key, I can see some have mottled pattern while others have small white spots..Shows different lines.. Watch Commercial next week .. looks like all will be sold direct because of Pet Stores not Responding..also they have Cheers Phill Collis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_au Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Goodness !!!!! Phill, if you have Ancistrus catfish ( Bristle nose ) from Peru, then there is no way that they are the same species as the common bristle nose !!!! Not just different lines, but different species all together !!!!! Am I reading things right here ? Is it an honest mistake? or is some one doing a massive snow job ???? Alan PS. on the other hand might be some nice rare Bushy nose cats going at common prices !!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Ozzie Al, most of the BNCF in NZ are one species. It is interesting to see that Phil has not only sourced from a different country but also that means a NEW species for NZ. One prob that I can see tho that as they are WC, they may be difficult to induce to spawn under aquarium conditions. Ala 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new zealand discus man Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi I have approx 50 @ 70/75 mm bush just starting to show on some. Still pot luck to sex. They are Anctisrus Bushinose. Small white spots on head and back,many have also a mottled look. I have not see the local bn for years so cannot comment as to likeness. But even so they will be New Blood Lines.. Sell from 28th at $35.00 each cheers Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new zealand discus man Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi To breeding Wild Caught.. If Adults are imported then true will be harder but mine are still young and will grow to adult under aquarium conditions..means better success.. I will be keeping a group ,but i have breed from W C young Discus and they reportidly are even harder,, Have a go is the key..some will have success when others may fail.. That life,, Cheers Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
