There's a difference,real L144 have blue eyes,i haven't seen any here so can you please post a picture.
Most overseas one's are hybrid crosses with common bristlenose but i will stand corrected if wrong.

Knowing the area they are being sold from, it is conceivably possible they are true L144's. Big congraties on breeding them. 
Hard to tell from those photos. Pity the top pic blurred, it looks pretty close to a L144.
Even if they are false L144 and sp4, they are still as rare as hens teeth in Australia.
Price is a bit high for me though.

You guys have heard of leucistic right? If I realised I could sell leucistic bn's at $700 a go I'd own my house outright.
These are basically albinos without the full albino gene (hence the non red eyes). They are somewhere between marble bn and albino bn (and my old marble male would often have albino fry with normal eyes when he bred with the albino female). There is a good chance I have pictures somewhere, I will try and locate them.

L144 are a really nice fish. They do look different to the normal BN in person. They even look to have a slightly wider/thicker head. As mentioned are a more yellow colour with bright blue eyes.
I know there are both short fins and long fins getting around in the L144. Both look really nice.

there was a unique pair of albino bn sold over 1-2 years ago on plecofanatics which went for around $800... they spat out fry with 50% blue eyes and 50% pink eyes.... the male fish had black patches on it and dark eyes from the photos... fry were going for around $50 each then....
surely someone must have this pair or at least some of their fry????
:wb: stupid me should of bought them.... lol...
sorry to be a pain but can we see more pictures please.....

Ok guys, gonna step in here. It is highly unlikely that these are true L144.
Even in UK and US, all the fish known as L144 are as above, personally I havent heard of any true L144 being exported at all.

:clap:
Like I said previously, I had a marble male that when spawned with the albino female I had, there was often a few fry that came out black eyed. I can't find any pics on the computer, there may be some on my old phone but I really can't be bothered digging that out of whatever drawer it is stuffed away in.
dog can verify this, I'm sure he has actually seen my black eyed albinos with his own eyes.
Hey Bigjohnnofish,
How about theses fish from the pics below are they from the pair that have been sold $800 over 1-2 yrs ago :whistle:??????????
NO TYRE KICKER PLEASE..!!!!!
I don't get it. If they are the progeny of the two breeders of two years ago who were sold for $800 and the fry were $50 each, why then are these 3cm fish offered for sale 1400% higher in price?
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol :me too i AM NOT SAYING THEY ARE NOT L144 COSS I WOULDN'T NOW but dam thats good money for them fry :drool::drool::drool::drool:
