Wanted: Calico Ancistrus

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

Can also swop you with some L144

 

bump
Am i the only person in South Africa with these fish ?
Anyone know of non tasa members that might have these fish?
Any leads welcomed

 

Bump

 

I wish i had them! And if i did i wouldnt give them away for anyrhing ;-)

 

If I can get just one mature fertile male. I could make so many people happy.

 

Wanna rent your male out ?
One week tops

 

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?

 

@Khalid do sponsor request, sue some1 can help....good luck with the wedding

 

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.

 

if i had a male we could have discussed tge terms hehe

 

If only

 

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:

 

Doubt they will leave them alone unless they good at hiding

 

With lots of caves and big caves there wil survive some. My angels eats the babys the same day they swim out the caves. All you can eat buffet

 

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.

 

Hey @len.weideman...I thought you were packing up all your fishy stuff? :hmmmm:

 

Nope. Still keeping my two 240litre tanks. Will never give up everything.
My albino ancistrus have 21 larvae at this stage. So excited
