A.Caca "Super red"

[RAM]

Just got this handsome fish.

LFS told me is a german bred "super red"

What you experts say?

What should I breed him with?

A super red female, wild form female,....etc?

Please advise. Thanks!!

right now I'm trying yellow and red, the fry is to young to say what it is going to be.
but I suggest keeping it to red, if you can find another female with no family relation.

I think Super is a term that is thrown around way too much! It is a nice looking cacatuoides male. Put him with a female that has some color in her fins.

yes I must agree, super is not the right word but speaks to peoples imagination.

But I find it deep orange rather than red.

Can I breed it back to a wild form female to strengthen the gene?

I felt the same way too. Anyway, I think it should be called orange red.

How would the babies turn out by using female that has some color in her fins.

the kids would be more likely to have more color

I personally think it would be a waist to use a wild caugt specimen and mix it with a tank line of this kind.
just look for what apistodave is suggesting :wink:

I have been looking for A.cacatuoides with full color like this for some
time now, where did you say you got them? I'm really interested in
getting a few with this coloring(full dorsal,tail and anal fin)
