Soothing Shrimp Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I bought this as a low quality BB. You can't see the blue much in this photo, but it has subtle blue around the head. However it's unlike any BB I've seen. It has a black splotch on both sides. Is this a var of BB,or a different var?

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Sounds like a plan, duff. I'm not nearly as successful with cards yet as I am with neos though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Is the only phenotype difference between hooded pinto and steel, is that steel has solid head and pinto has spotted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimple minded Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm interested in this topic as well.......glad you brought it up, Soothing. I was somehow under the impression that steel referred more to the strong coloration with the "sparkly bits" (yes that's the scientific name) on the head or head/body. I would love to know exactly what defines a "steel". Hooded, spotted head, galaxy, cloud, zebra, belly, steel..............someone drop some knowledge on me.

ctaylor3737 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 LOL Still not very good at them yet, but learning...You'll do fine same as neos just a little better water quality. Take a little longer to reach breeding age. Not much different if your tuned to what they need. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
