I have 3 PB s one with almost none peppering , one with quite a bit of peppering. And the one with heavy peppering and the one has some peppering seems like are pairing up. I love PBs , What is the best way to get PBs free of peppering in my case ? Should I add some albino juvis along with them ? or is it better to have two PB mates instead.
I am also thinking of getting couple red meloon juvis along with them, which are smaller than the ones I currently have. What is expected if one of the red meloon and PB breed ? And the breeder told me that it is better not to have mates from siblings so it is better to include red meloons from somewhere else to have a better gene pool. Is this true ?
And please excuse me for asking this, I am just a begineer so got no idea about how this works. When they pair up and they are proven breeding pair, is it better to keep them in a big tank with other and isolate them whenever they are ready to lay eggs, or for the rest of their life they are seperated in a 30 gal tank ? If this is the case, isnt it bad for discus as they love living in groups ?
