Albino Dantums....Greg

[ghonk]

...where are they shipping from....??

NY , airport to airport.
This past weekend would have been great as far as the weather  on MY end,was  50 plus.

I  would rather wait then take a chance,it's the sellers call and he knows what he is doing.
They are  reserved for me ,so they aren't going anywhere.

Thanks Jon.

Greg...I bought 6, but 2 died on shipping. Hopefully I get a pair from the 4. I have them for three and a half months now....so I'm assuming they are +/- 5 months old. Still aways before they start to breed.

How old were yours when they started spawning?

Can't remember for sure,i think the male was about 9 months.
The female was from someone else,i forget how old I was guesstimating her to be from the info I got.
I think it was around the same age,or a little older.
Seems like I remember about  10 months.

I'm sure I was blabbering about it at TAF.
I will  never know now.

Yes from  Mike
His last batch were  about nickels  at 9 weeks.
The ones i'm getting are about 11 weeks now.

They're gonna be descent size then....how many are you getting?

[ghonk]

Getting 6,i wish I could have got a couple more.
At some point i would like to get some from another source to avoid direct   sibling crosses ,they likely have been inbred to death due to the limited gene pool.

I got my Altums (6) from Mike about 3 years ago. They are all big and strong living in my 150 Fatboy.

As far as I know, the Dantums came from only 1 breeder. ...I think (from Israel)

But I saw a posting once where the albino dantum was crossed to a wild cross angel to get another Albino angel...just not sure if it's here or another country. But the end product was a really nice looking angel....

Here's one of them:

Willie...are those the F1 Altums that you got? I know he was able to breed the wild altums a few years back.

Yep the ones I got from Mike were F1s. They are beauties. I try to post some updated pictures of them.

I Had fish from Attila's ORIGINAL  cross. 
Albino Dantum X Pinoy.
The Pinoy was bred by Neil Oyama and has Rio Negro blood,can't remember the %.

Attila's original pair.

One  of the F1 pairs I HAD from Attila's cross.

Didn't follow the Dantums when they came out, so I really have a very limited knowledge when it comes to them.
Seems like Attila was able to retain a good shape on his cross. Didn't know you got your Dantums from him also.
