Description

This auction is for 6 beautiful healthy red eyed albino long fin bristle nose ancistrus pleco fry, measuring 1.4 to 1.5 inch, born and raised with love in my home. These are about 2 months old, too young to tell male from female, but with 6 fish you are almost certain to get a few of each gender, and they will breed in another 6 to 7 months. Photos below are my actual fish and their parents. The parent fish are *NOT* included in the auction. These pleco fry are trained to eat raw zucchini (green squash), french cut unsalted green beans, blanched sweet potato wedges, yellow squash, New Life Spectrum sinking pellets, Hikari algae wafers, Hikari sinking wafers, Tetra tropical plus sinking granules, thawed frozen brine shrimp, and flake food that sink to the tank floor.


These fry are the offsping of two unrelated parents to maximize genetic diversity: The father is from vendor Hellspawn4 of Indiana and the mother is from vendor BioAquatix of Florida. Both parents are homozygous albino for the same genetic locus. This parental genotype has been confirmed by the fact that 100% of their offspring are albino. Not a single brown fry emerged from these outstanding parents. Pleco experts know that there are 2 separate genetic loci that encode for albino in bushy nosed ancistrus, such that you can end up with brown non-albino fry even if both parents are red-eyed albino. These albino pleco fry have an albino mutation in the same genetic locus, which means that you will *never* get brown fry from these fish unless you mate them with other plecos of unknown genotype. Experts also know that long fin is an autosomal dominant mutation in bushy nosed plecos, which means that a short finned pleco can *never* carry the long fin gene mutation, even if both parents have very long fins.


LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED. USPS Priority Mail is $15. Live arrival guarantee does not cover the shipping fee. Packaging will include styrofoam insulation, breather bags, and heat pack. I cannot combine shipping for multiple orders because my fish boxes are always full. Payment must be made within 24 hours of auction close. If no payment is received within 24 hours of auction close, the items will be put back up for sale and a breach of sale will be reported to Aquabid. The digestive system of the fish will be cleared for 2 days AFTER payment is received, in order to keep their shipping water clean. The fish will be shipped within 3 days after payment is received, however the fish will NOT be shipped on a Thursday or Friday in order to prevent the package from sitting idle in the post office on Sunday. In the rare event of fish death, please send clear photo of dead fish inside unopened bag within 1 hour of first delivery attempt. Shipping fees are not refundable or creditable under any circumstance.



Their parents (NOT included in auction):
