hi all,just bred bn's for the first time,the mail is a lovley vieltail and the female is a standard brown ,do you think i will get many vieltails 50/50 or something like that thanks chris |

well, 100% of the time if im not mistaken, if you breed a albino bristlenose with a brown bristlenose, youll get a full broad of brown bristlenose, so if they breed along them same lines, id say normal brown fry, but if the vieltail is also a brown one and has stronger genes then i wudnt be surprised if you do get a 50/50 broad  |

just to add to the debate, I bred albino with brown and Woz is right, they produced brown offspring ( with interesting body markings ) BUT when the offspring paired up and bred they produced a mix of browns and albinos. |

interesting point rams, i didnt know if the young paired off they produced mixed offspring |

you've got me wondering now what would happen if the 2nd generation paired up what the outcome would be - think I'll give it a try. |
| 19-09-2007 19:41 by Woz |
hmmmmmm, interesting, so how longs it taking you to get them to a breeding size from fry? |
| 19-09-2007 20:20 by ramsfan |
I don't know Woz, I've had them breeding for a few of years now but never taken that much notice to be honest. They're in tanks with other species, when they breed I just split the young between my tanks or take them to my LFS in exchange for dry goods. I've been looking for a new project so think I'll devote some tank space to this - it could be interesting. They are fascinating little fish aren't they...... |

any pics ?? |
| 19-09-2007 20:39 by ramsfan |
you asking me for pics tasha? 'fraid not, I'm a fully paid up technophobe, besides, my fish room is so small, last time I tried all I got was reflections off the tanks!!! |

they gota admit i like them , cause no harm and hold there own in most tanks you put them in, ive got a 15-20 of them in my malawi tank and they dont get any hassle, theyve always been a fish i hope would breed but no luck as yet, there not breeding size at the moment |
