ALBINO GOLD MILLENIUMS FROM JOSIE (CHICAGO DISCUS)

[BOBT00LS]

I received an Albino Gold Millenium from Josie a few months ago and it turns out that it is a female, of age, on cycle and spawning once per week. I've had MANY albinos in the past but this females lays the largest clutches that I have personally experienced for an albino. Now the task at hand was to find a suitable male. Josie came through with a male for me and did she do well. A pic of the female laying last night is below and please excuse the poor quality of the pic as it was taken on my cell and doesnt show the bright yellow of the female. The male is also below and some of you may recognize it. Thanks Josie and I will update this post once I get the two of them together and they produce fry.

Always great seeing you too Bob.

[musicmarn1]

we have a lot to learn and many miles of experience to gain to get fish like yours and John's Chad ! :) but i for one am super excited about it. i THINK i got my show quality confirmed fertile male all picked out , already had the female blue scorpion, so i now have 2 years to make magic happen !

[BOBT00LS]

The show winning male is out of QT and has colored up nicely. Today i introduced him to my female and they seem to be getting alone nicely together. Now only time will tell what comes of them.

Would love to see a grow out thread on these.

[Lucky Tropical]

GOOD!

[BOBT00LS]

Im glad you approve Lawrence.

The pair has been showing signs of spawning for the last few days. Eggs were laid today but as it turns out, he (the NADA solid class winner) is a she, Yes eggs were laid by both. Guess Ill have to switch things up and have my young male AGM do double duty. The pic below is the show winners tube.

Pat

[Chad Adams]

Ugh Bob. That's rough!
I would Have bet good money on male!! Shows what any of us know!! Lol!
Good luck buddy.

Chad

[BOBT00LS]

Not to worry Pat and Chad. I have a male AGM thats young and has some maturing to do, but he fertilizes SOME of the eggs for now. He will get plenty of practice with these tw females.

Bob

[Second Hand Pat]

[OC Discus]

Josie,

The fish in your signature- Did you say once it is a female Chicago blue? What is the exact mix and are you able to reproduce it?
