Re: Ancistrus sp. Albino X Albino Equals what?

In you reference post, viewtopic.php?f=5&t=41052 you mentioned xanthoristic variant , I tried looking it up under Wikipedia and there was no such word, What doe sit mean? Well, in this case even that won´t help, because there appear to be no real L144 available anymore (there might be one or two ...

Re: Ancistrus sp. Albino X Albino Equals what?

I have (3) Leucistic BN's and all three have blue eyes. I have never heard of a Black eyed Leucistic BN until just now in this post! Although I never heard of Two Albino Genes in any other species either, are you sure there is such a thing? Ron Look at my prior posts in this thread. This is a fact ...

Re: Ancistrus sp. Albino X Albino Equals what?

It is possible that a fish is homozygous for TWO of the albino mutations. I wonder if such fish would be snow white. here is a post from someone here on the site... perhaps this could answer your questions? Hi, well, I am not a biologist, so perhaps a geneticist can better explain (or perhaps even ...

Re: Ancistrus sp. Albino X Albino Equals what?

When you refer the "another mutation with yellow body and black eyes" I assume you are talking about the one that is commonly referred to as the L144 (sp(4) on the database)? Someone on the forum was insisting there were two forms of the false L144; one with black eyes and the other with blue eyes ...

As far as I know they look totally identical.

Re: Ancistrus sp. Albino X Albino Equals what?

we wouldn't be able to tell which gene was homozygous and which was heterozygous. Therein lies the biggest problem. We'd have to setup 10 or more breeding tanks to get a decent chance at producing aabb fry. If all the 500 fry end up being golden yellow rather than white, is it because aabb genotype ...
