Longfin Albino Bristlenose - does anyone have?

[Merrilyn]

Junior I just bought four of these little guys for one of my fry grow out tanks. The true longfins, and they were $35 each at around 3cm in length.

But if your fish were bigger than that, or if there are very few of them around, then I can understand the price. It's all a case of supply and demand :P

i have my longfins in their own tank now red. 1 male and 2 females i have

there werent many of them at the time when i purchased them. anyway, i had never seen them before, i wanted some, so i payed the price lol.

these guys should be breeding soon. the male would be almost 6-7cm and the female are from 5-6cm.


im very happy with them, certainly a cute and very active fish! mine NEVER hide! i thought it was strange how they wouldnt shy away from me!

I found 2 of these guys in with a batch of normal albinos at my lfs today, 3.5cm @ $20 each....I was very quick to pull out the folding stuff!

Merrilyn, what did you mean by 'the true longfins' comment?

Here's a pic of one of mine, is it a true longfin?:

If I'm correct what Merrilyn means is that there are some Regular Albino BN that have been crossed with Long Finned Albino's ... Hence her using "True Long Fins" ...
