Title: Albino Dantums
Post by: GeorgeG on August 13, 2017, 11:09:57 AM
Has anyone seen anyone breeding these with any success. I had a few but nothing happen so I thought I would give it a shot one more time but haven't seen any for sale in a long time. Not wanting to buy anything from Angelfish USA

I don't have an import License any more so the U.K is out and Greg doesn't have any either. I will post and see if anyone on Facebook has them and maybe just go another route with some F1 wilds

OK I got 8 of the Dantum from Mathias Scaglia of Discus Madness and he did a very good of packing them in a nice Styrofoam box and they were nice size. I put them in my 125 with a couple of Sunsets and Koi. Better price than the other seller out there and I got a line on someone else for more whose are only a few weeks old if I want some more.

I'd have hated it if you wanted some so much that you would have resorted to getting them from David.  I never have nor will I ever buy anything from him.  I met him at a NADA and he rubbed me the wrong way.

Yes I was glad Mathias had them and then someone on Facebook sent me a PM about someone else that has spawned them so I reached out to him. He told me his were only a few weeks old so I am on his list to get some. I will check back with him next month to see how they are doing.I am not a fan of David when he has to lie about having the name trademarked and really doesn't when I check the trademark office on the name. /font]

I know.  He makes himself out to be a big deal by morally shady methods. 

You helped me find half blacks and warned me off a seller that I had doubts about.  You had been watching half blacks on Aquabid!  I hope I have kids for you.

I'm also looking for some Albino Dantum. GeorgeG, how are yours making out? Can you recommend a good source?

Thanks,
Paul

Be careful about buying Albino Dantums from Mathias at Discus Madness.
Talked to someone who purchased some from them,according  to the buyer they received junk.
Even though the buyer SPECIFCALLY told him they didn't want BAD fish.
Mathias blamed Danzinger for shipping him bad fish,so IF that's the case Mathias was just passed  them along.

Eventually Mathias sent the buyer new fish that were exceptable,but it took MONTHS to receive them.

Attila Csakvari in Fort Lauderdale, Florida has them also from a pair he spawned. I have not purchased them as he never gave me shipping cost. I guess he forgot.

Mathias sent me some nice fish but no pairs have formed for me yet.

I won't buy from Mathias again the guy has an attitude when questioned about the Albino Dantums he sent in the previous post.

Glad the ones you got were nice,to bad it SEEMS to be hit or miss when purchasing from him.

Is he the only guy who has them now?
Title: Re: Albino Dantums
Post by: ghonk on May 08, 2018, 10:27:05 AM
Attila had some a while back,so he does have a breeding pair.

I might have the opportunity to get a pair in the future,if all goes as planned.

I got some great ones from Discus Madness. It took longer than I expected for them to pair up, but I just got my first pair. I'm waiting for the remaining to pair up as I'd like at least more than 1 pair. They are definitely aggressive and show signs of breeding but getting them to pair up hasn't been easy. It looks like Mathias raised his price on them significantly since back when I bought them last fall.
