    Default Interesting cross take 2!

    A few months back I put a golden albino and a valentine together as I fancied seeing what would come from the cross. Sadly due to an air pump failure I ended up culling the entire spawn. Anyways, they are back together and it is looking promising.

    I love these so much! Guess we'll have to wait a bit to see how they turn out

    Paul,
    Those are going to produce some great shaped f1 Intermediates!..I can't wait to see how the intermediates look as adults pattern and color wise, .... Hope you keep them going to F2... and get some albinos out of the cross the next generation... These kinds of crosses is where we learn the most...great work my friend!

    hehe, no, but I did. I had a number of pairs flat on their sides, thought I'd lost at least eight fish and didn't have time to deal with the fry so they were sacrificed. Fortunately I didn't lose any, but it was touch and go for a while.

    Sweet Paul. Did you even get a football or two in the group? Or did they all look like pocket change with fins from the get go?
