Ive been learning my leasson with ebay sellers. I ordered a BREEDING pair of ribbon fin albino topaz and they sent me a male with the long fin..... wouldnt be an issie if they wernt sold AS BREEDERS thankfully the famale had 2 fry on her. I did alot of reading and ended up cutting the ribbon fin back down to size. He actually seems more active now not sure if hes breedable now or not time will tell
@DGreyАй бұрын
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you got something out of the trio. Normally they will send a normal fin male & female & 1 ribbon fin female. I'm surprised you were sent a ribbon male. As I have said I have had very bad luck buying off of ebay. The pictures are great. The fish I received not great.

Glad to see ya with a new video! (Did not get them from you but...) I lost all my black moscows... I aged my water, it tested fine. Did my water change and they were dead by evening. Found out the city had to flush our plumbing because of repairs near the plant, of course the message was on their FB 48 hours after my fish were dead... I had a seperate tank of black metal laces proved sterile so they are gone too. I am without guppies at this point.... So I am enjoying from a distance right now. I spent $70 for the black metal lace trio, they acted correctly, tests of water were in good range, temps were high 70s, like my other tanks where I had dozens of babies... they never produced a single fry in 13 months, lost the last female on Christmas. That funky body female could throw some interesting finage, I like her

Thank you for watching! Geez I am so sorry to hear that. A few years ago the Philly water dept superdosed with something & I lost a colony of African cichlids & also 2, 3 generation colonies of plecos. I haven't replaced either yet. 1 of these days. I encounter the sterlity thing with albino strains. They are probably too inbred at that point.
