Richard Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Doubt it. If they were to be coming into Australia i think they would have to be in other countries such as America for awhile, so far i can't find a thing on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 They would be a nice looking cattie, but no-one I have talked to has heard of them. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antz Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 $850!! for what size? im guessing thats each? wow.. thats alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcloughlin2 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 No price has been made positive as yet. And if anyone has found out a price of them they should keep it to themselves unless the seller has made it public (The price). I would say they will be sold at 3-4cm. Antz, did you know that albino bristlenose were fetching prices up to $800 (Perhaps more) when they were first infroduced to the country? Look how much they are worth now!

catfishLegacy Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 yeah...why don't we ruin the genetics of these as well...can't wait to see the albino, longfin, colour dyed version. You can't improve on nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffin Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Just wondering - (not having seen pics of long fin peps) - are they real peppermints? Or have they been hybridised with long fin bristlenose to get the long fin thing happening faster? It's something that happens a lot in the bird world with mutations -don't wait for the mutation to appear spontaneously in a species (could take a VERY long time), just hybridise it with a closely related species that already has the mutation and then cross back repeatedly to the original species so it looks more and more like the original......but you still have hybrids in the end.
