fishbits Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hey, My OSBN spawned about 4 weeks ago.I was checking out the tank and saw 2 albinos and 2 marbles, along with many other normal looking OS all around the 1cm mark. I only have OSBN in that tank. I do have a question.Is an albino OSBN the same as a common albino BN. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaholic Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Do you have abn/ marble fry in other tanks? If so its more likely they were transferred from another tank by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have some albino BN no marbles, the marbles where there is colour have orange spots.. The orange spots are in my planted shrimp tank. I have never placed a net in that tank.This is the first time these guys have spawned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaholic Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Could be from a hose, filter, piece of wood, water change bucket. I've done it myself. Its highly unlikely the abn are orange spot. I don't know about the marbles though. When they get bigger take some pic's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelly Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 must be another solution because os's don't throw albinos or marbels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 albino and marble are only gene mutations grow them and see how they come out no orange spot are not the same as normal BN is the tank connect to a common sump ? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hey Chris. All my tanks are stand alone. This tank is a planted tank and has been like this for years. I have watched these guys from when they were first hatch. I have about 20 young in the tank and only four out of the 20 have mutations.I brought 6 OSBN from the last major aution, now if OSBN don't throw albinos maybe I got 6 commons by mistake. I know of one other person who's OS have produced albinos but lost the fry. Would pics help? Cheers sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaholic Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Pics of the adults and fry would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chorrylan Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 must be another solution because os's don't throw albinos or marbels there's no fundamental reason why not... we're just talkng about mutations so it's a matter of probabilities not one of do's/dont's and it's almost inevitable they will appear at some time ( in fact I expect they have occured numerous times, mutations are relatively common, actually getting them to survive, stabilize and isolating just that part of the mutation is much much harder and much less likely) but.....The odds of having both mutations appear at once in a single spawn and to subsequently survive is so awfully small I'd be thinking it might as well be zero. If you're absolutely sure the fry are orange spots and not ring-ins from another tank then my expectation is you'll find you're just seeing natural and temporary variations in pigmentation that disappear as the fry grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbits Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hey, Got some pics,this is the best I could do. Adults (These guys are around 10monts old) Marbles Albino Mixed Hope this help. Cheers Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 They are just common bristle nose and not orange spot bn. Mystery over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbits Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 well if that's true I paid almost $10 each at 3 cm for commons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petshopdude Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 that sucks mate, but on the plus side you did get some marbles and albinos, but clearly commons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E4G13M4N Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 OS probably would have been a little bit more than $10 if they were from a LFS, depending on who they were sourced from. commons depending on which state and supplyer to LFS can be anything up to $10 for 3.5 - 4 cm have seen them for higher price at times..

Link2Hell Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Fishbits from the pic the adult looks like a common BN but its Homer moment as they have thrown albino and really nice looking calico even so you bought what you thought were OS come to the meeting saturday and see Lionel (zigzag) they should be able to go over the last auction data (not on the night OK) and see what you bought and who sold the lot and the lot description where it goes from there will depend on the result of the search Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangus Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 hi Fishbits! how are the mutation fry going? have to agree that the adults are indeed common BN, however, they have thrown some really interesting colours. Personally i think it would be worth breeding them just to see what you get, you might get something unusual. The albino is the whitest looking albino i have seen - what colour are the eyes? and what about the calicos? any update pics of the babies?
