    Default A pair and fry pics ..

    Hi all,
    I'm always playing around with something here and with that in mind I picked up a group of 3 inch fish from one of Kenny and Forrest Shipments.. They were a bunch of albino intermediates... with Leopard and snake skin in them...... The had some really interesting patterns then and of course carried the albino gene....so I kept a few and paired them out...this is the pair I kept.. One thing I can say is If Kenny and Forrest say they are albino intermediates... thats what they are...So far I have bred 3 unrelates sets of fish sold as albino intermediates...and all three confirmed the albino ... so thanks Guys.

    This is their first spawn and I have to say they have been great..They even have shared their homemade surf and turf with their little ones...

    Al I think those are some special fish you have there. That is neat to see. I love the wild type pattern/coloring.

    Beautiful pair! They look like wild crosses. I love the pics of them sharing with the fry.

    Al,

    The fish look amazing, I don't know how you do it. We're going to have to sit down and have a nice chat next time I visit. I need to find out what you keep doing right, and what I keep doing wrong. Talk to you later buddy.

    hi Al,
    i just cant recall what did i name those fishes when i sold them.....the wild looking of those fishes is something unexpected. this is something interesting for all of us discus lovers, when we cross a fish to another, we will always to have to wait n see till the fishes get mature...and yet we still have to wait n guess by imbreeding the fishes......a generation over another....sometime we get the encouragements n sometime disappointments from our expectation.

    btw, thank u very much Al for taking good care of those fishes n let us have an oppotunity to see the result of their offspring.

    best rgds,
    forrest.
    best rgds,
    Forrest

    HI all,
    Thanks for the kind comments on this pair...they are one of my favorites here...maybe its because of the wild look... but they definetly carry albino genes.

    Patrick, anytime you want to talk..lets get together.

    Forrest, Kenny may know better which shipment they came from...but It was from a group that had both 9 bar and snake skins... as I had gotten some of both. I kept one snakeskin as well.....My understanding is these have spotted genes as well. A friend of mine out here has a pair of siblings from this group as well...that look very similar to mine.

    It'll be interesting to see how the fry grow out....
