    Hi
    My young female Calico/Marbled Ancistrus is looking for a husband.
    Anyone have a male Calico Ancistrus for her?

    Are you specifically after a Calico? Couldn't you just breed with a normal longfin L144? Surely some of the fry would carry the calico gene?

    Thanks Hennie, I will repost it in a sponsor request thread

    I have contemplated a cross breed as a last resort, but will try with the super reds.

    I will be next in line when you have babies! My Albinos are now breeding for the first time. Noticed eggs on Tuesday, just hope the angels will leave the baies alone once they are free swimming :suspicious:

    I only have 2 x small Golden longfins and 3 x mature Golden Ancistrus males (do have mature females, but you need a male). If you do come right with a male and they breed, I am interested in some of the fry. You can always cross her out to a Golden Ancistrus longfin male, some will carry the gene as @MarcHawke says, you can even use a normal Golden Ancistrus male, bothe genes will carry over to the fry, so you will get normal/longfin and marble's. Just a suggestion.

    Is the calico a dominant or recessive gene? I would assume it's recessive.
