Brad89 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Just wondering what the outcome would be if the following were to breed..Peppermint X Normal -Peppermint X Albino -Normal X Albino -Would they be fifty fifty or would the babies be Hets? Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 normal and albino would be as they are the same species. I dont think any of them would breed with peps though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce Deity Link Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 whilst on this topic how would you go breeding regular BN's with the long-finned varieties? would they cross breed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Same species, Albino and longfin are just mutations of the common BN. So yes they would cross breed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad89 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks for that.. By any chance would you know what species in the Ancistrus genus the peppermint bristlenose catfish is or is "peppermint bristlenose" just a common name and it's actually apart of a whole differnent genus?

YAL05T Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The Australian pepp is an unknown ancistrus species. As no one knows where it originated from or if it is even a pure strain it will always be referred to as peppermint bn. There has been much talk about this on planet catfish if you care to pop over there for the whole gamut of information.There is also the orangespot bn here which some think is ancistrus sp. "rio ucayli" again, with out a capture location that is a best guess scenario. The other bn as stated before are all colour mutations of the same hybrid species we have here and is also in just about every other country too.Then there is the L144 saga that has been going on, these are the golden blue/black eyed bn. They are here now in short and longfin variants, but yet again there is conjecture if they truly are L144 as there was only ever ONE caught in the wild, so again it is believed the has been hybridization going on.Most ancistrus will cross, I once had a lone male pepp in a tank with ABN, and he was fanning eggs, don't know if he took a spawn over from another male or if a female albino did actually spawn with him. Either way the eggs all fungused and got kicked out. I personally don't think it is truly viable but others have claimed to have done it though I am yet to see any visual evidence.I hope some of the above is helpful, any I applogise for any auto correct Americanized spelling my iPad has done.

YAL05T Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 There is also a few detailed posts on pc for generalized genetic outputs of mixed coloration bn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
