That is a German Yellow ribbon.. it is okay with the females... though, it will not give you fries unless your female were hit by another male in the LFS.. males with ribbon will not give you any fries with any female...

Heh heh....off topic, but is that a string of shit i see?

I think you have been overfeeding your fish. Don't do that, it's not really good for the digestive system and the fish doesn't get any more nutrients as the digestive bacteria can only handle that much. The nutrient rich poo only fouls the water quicker.

hello! The strain which you have is blue tail tuxedo. This strain will throw out both blue and red. If your female is prehit, the frys will most probably have 2 colors. Next time, get a short male instead of a ribbon male as its sterile. Always be save than sorry.

so what should i do with the male? will it breed with a reg female??
why are male ribbons sterile? , i still do see pair out there of both ribbon

can i use the ribbon female with another male of another strain is that outcrossing?

thanks

Jason

they are sterile cause of their anal fin.... long long.....

if u wanna buy, u should buy a regular pair of male with ribbon genes and a ribbon female

look at No. 10 in the pic...

short right for the Gonopodium

but ribbon's are long just like what u show in ur pic

which makes them impotent.....

so cannot breed

who u got the pair from? if the female is not prehit... then u got cheated
