Stuart Elflett Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I was looking for albino corys... I found two tanks, one marked "Albino Catfish $6.95 - Bronze Catfish $5.95" full of bronze cory's, but no albinos... looked at the second tank, marked "Albino Corydoras - SPECIAL $4.95 ea" - trouble was, I could see no Cory's in there... I asked the girl behind the counter when they'd have some Albino Cory's back in, and she said they wouldn't order any more, because they hadn't been selling... Then I asked how much were the Albino Bristlenoses... she said they didn't have Albino BN's, just Corys... I said she didn't have Corys... she took me over to the tank of Corys 'on special'... Here's my new Albino Cory, busy cleaning some rocks...: If anyone in SA wants a $4.95 Albino Bristlenose, let me know and I'll pm you which store... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Albino BNs are COOL! I saw some long finned ones. Even cooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Elflett Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Around the $17 to $20 mark, at most of the LFS's at that size... Beauty with the Albino's is they stay much smaller than the 'normal' BN's... I've also been lucky enough to have snagged a male there... will look at getting a female to go with him tomorrow... often there is only one male survivor in a batch of 30 fry...

Bettarazzi Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 How do you tell the difference between the males and females? Do they have to be a certain size before they're sexable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Elflett Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 See the red patch behind his head?? That's a male indicator, females don't have the patch - it's there on normal BN's, too - you just can't see it... otherwise, you need to wait to see if they get spurs on the nose, which is quite a while - mind you, he looks to have the beginnings too, on the second pic...
