Acanthicus Adonis ALBINO

Post by Piranha »

:D Could someone tell me Acanthicus Adonis ALBINO is F1 or Wild Caught?? Because in my location, there are many Acanthicus Adonis ALBINO! The aquarium told me that their wholesales price is only USD99/ea, so I think Acanthicus Adonis ALBINO will become human breed!!

Apparently they are wild "caught" as eggs, hatched and raised in Peru and then shipped.

I think that they would, technically, constitute Wild Caught, since the parent's aren't captives. On the other hand, I would expect there only to be a few albino specimens out there, so they are still quite restricted in number of potential parents.

Either way, they grow huge, so I suggest that the market of knowledgable customers would be fairly limited...
