Been reports of bristlenose crossbreeding. Did u see that advert for Bristlenose x Gold Nuggets on ac the other day!

The bn x gold nugget on ac is incorrect. That cross is genetically impossible.

These are awesome looking bn though!

 

[JoePlec]

I did think the same... Im guessing this fish is L255?

I see you used the pics I took mac :lol::lol:

I have seen these tonight and I have never seen bn,s like it.......unless L182 etc look like this when about 2.5"tl?.

Nice big spots and the tail looks awesome. You cant really see from the pics but they have ultra white tips that are almost like filaments.

I hope they turn out to be something really nice

Probably the guy a while back on pf claiming to have spawned GN,s until people quizzed him about the set up and found he had bn,s in the tank.

Nothing like L182. Im sticking with L255 especially with the head width.

No realise what you meant and wasnt being funny just meant they look nothing like L182 at that age.. Why not L255

 

[thegeeman]

Why not L255

If mac has any pics from above then you will see that they dont have that triangle look with the massive head. Unless 255 isnt the spotted medusa lol.

I think they were labelled as 182 so was just curious. I am pretty sure that these will turn out to be something abit on the rare side though.

I can rule L182 out straight away. Whatever they are they are stunning. If labelled as L182 i take it they were a bargain haha

Just googled and thats a pretty good match jk. The only thing different is the transulcent tail but I presume this will darken with maturity??. I couldnt see any spots the tail either:dk:

LDA03 is a nice id.. im liking this fish.. spots remind me of a LDA33 or L201 very nice looking fish!

 

[thegeeman]

Decent ID and pretty quick considering no-one knew.. Good bit of internet scouring.
