Dan Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hey all, Does anyone know if the long finned gene in long finned bristlenoses is recessive? Like the albino gene? Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Dan, All I can tell you is it is not recessive. Nor is it totally dominant. I am still to discover whether it is co-dominant, sex linked or what ever. Fry from Longfin X normal fin parents show Longfin, normal fin and inermediate forms at the moment, but they have a long way to grow yet for any real conclusions.

Dan Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Thanks for the reply Alan. I'd be interested in your results after a little more time. I'm thinking about gettin some and growing them up then trying to breed them to test this theory. The only thing is patience dunno how long that will last thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan ← I have even found that you get this sort of result when you cross them back to a normal BN. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 Does anyone know the L number for long-finned bristlenose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 There is no "L" number for Longfin Bristle Nose as it is just the same as the albinos, a man made variation of an ancistrus catfish that was being bred in the aquarium world long before "L" numbers came into existance. It could almost be called a domesticated species these days. Alan. PS. put it in the same catagory as guppies, swordtails, angle fish and discus,,man made.

Boots n all Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 The same three way mix in the fry is achieved with the Albino to longfin also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
