Are you sure the Filter rubber is missing or just dried out? I had a similar problem recently when I went to get some older HOB filters I had put in storage! The o-rings that seal the magnetic pump to the housing had dried out and would not seal. I just took them off stretched them a little applied ...

Treat with Furon2 as recommended on the package. It is probably some type of fungus!

Next Question (I have lots of questions) is a Super REd BN a Xanthochromic individual genetically, or something else!

Ron

I found "Xanthism" in the glossary (I forgot it was there) but not used as you are using it. Now my next question, are you calling a leucistic BN considered to be as one of the albino genes or are there (3) genes in BN' that cause lack of pigmentation regardless of the eye color or only tw...

In you reference post, viewtopic.php?f=5&t=41052 you mentioned xanthoristic variant , I tried looking it up under Wikipedia and there was no such word, What doe sit mean? Well, in this case even that won´t help, because there appear to be no real L144 available anymore (there might be one or two...

I have (3) Leucistic BN's and all three have blue eyes. I have never heard of a Black eyed Leucistic BN until just now in this post! Although I never heard of Two Albino Genes in any other species either, are you sure there is such a thing?

Ron

Can't you buy medications from someone like http://www.drsfostersmith.com/, I am sure they would ship to you internationally! If you can access this site then you can access there's and pay with Paypal! Do you have a Paypal account, if not GET ONE!

OK Thanks Jools, sorry I just saw your reply.

Is there a way to designate Variety in Catfish? For instance there are so many varieties of Ancistrus sp. cirrhosis , but to the best of my knowledge no way to designate color, finage etc. Shouldn't there be some scientific taxonomic terminology to designate variety(?)in Catfish or for that matter i...

Just to clarify things I was talking about breeding a true Albino w/ Pink Eyes to another true Albino w/ Pink Eyes, they produced half brown and half albino off spring. They are small right now about 1/2" so I can't see eye color on the young fry, and the browns are a beige shade not dark like ...

I am looking for some Ancistrus sp. `RIO PARAGUAY`. Does anyone have any for sale? PM ME!

Ron

Thank You Mattcham & Eric, you both helped a lot!

Ron

Can anyone show what the Punnett square for the breeding of albino 1 X albino 2 that produce 1/2 brown offspring would look like?

Ron

My " Hoplosternum littorale " Spawned the other day! The male created a nest out of plants I had placed into the tank. We had a cold snap and I didn't have a heater in the tank yet to the water dropped several degrees. Here is a picture of the first nest he built. https://ronsaquatics.file...

The original pair that I bred are albinos with pink (red) eyes! They bred together by accident and are throughing some albinos and some browns, about 50/50 ratio! If you saw a solid black BN pleco you would say that the Common BN's are Brown not "Blacks"! I have a solid Black Pleco that I ...

Andy,
I wasn't trying to be picky! I was just making a point about Color Genetics! I wasn't trying to pick your post apart!

Ron

Fin heredity is different than color genetics! The genetic mechanism is different!

Ron

I found the Post from MatP Eh, that's not what Mats is saying, but I can see your confusion. He's saying that there are multiple different "types" of normal red-eye albinism, even ignoring the blue-eye types. Albinism is defined as the lack or or defective production of melanin, which is r...

My Hoplosternum littorale, just spawned also! I read that you must move all the other fish out or the male will kill them.

Ron

Thats what I was wondering! I only always got 100% albino, but from this batch I got maybe 50% Albino & 50% Brown! Does anyone know why this is? Can you explain the genetics of it? I know that when I cross Brn X Brn and get 25% albino its because the recessive gene is in both parents. It produce...

If I breed One albino Male Ancistrus sp. with a Female albino Ancistrus sp. what should the results be?

Sandor, due you know if the black coloration is hereditary? Can it be linebred into a strain of fish?

Ron

Do you still have the L400 fry for sale?

Ron

I am still confused! What name do I call my fish, so I am accurate!

Ron

I am not sure I understand what the problem is! Did you get the two fish you paid for or what? I would cut your loses and don't give him anymore money! Seems like you are paying an awful lot of money for these fish. I sell a lot of fish on AQUABID and try to satisfy the customer if there are any com...

Yeh! Thats a good one. Let see what the others think. Thanks Steve28

Ron

Shane! has Ian decided on a name for the Black Cory's as Yet. I am still confused as to what to call them!

Ron

I had these two Cory's in a batch of C. aggazi's. When I bought them I was told they were C. blochi but don't look anything like them. They almost look like C. trileatus, but are 1/3 again the size and have a elongated head, not the shortened head of C. trileatus. I picked out C. gomezi, C. leopardu...
