Saw this in my tank & just had to share! lol.

Inspired by Dean's "The Evolution of a KingKong", thought I'd dedicate a thread to Pinto's .... well, this is where I'm at ........... Eventually, hopefully and with lots of luck, my selective breeding program will create..

Been selecting Mosura BB's, Tibee and Pinto to gain some momentum to develop a spotted head bluebolt pinto. Wishful thinking perhaps, but a selective program nevertheless...pics of some of the breeding stock/base brood....

Zeb pinto's colony expanding nicely.....noticing a larger % of pinto per batch these days...

Haven't updated many of my thread/post...been stupidly busy :-) Noticed this panda, enough for me to take a pic and share... Others in the colony are also showing great colours.. Then there's my favourite, the BB MOSURA shadow.

Hopefully this should answer your question Squiggle. One thing I didn't think of is where the outlet 40mm pipe was meant to enter the sump is a 25mm hole. LOL So I will have to just have the 40mm go straight into the top of the sump. Here is a front on of the rack so far. There are 6 holes drilled into each spray bar. The pump I am using is rated at 240 lt/min with a header height of 8 feet (the inlets to the top tanks are about 7 foot). It works out theoretically each hole could have a flow of 74ml every second,or 400mls a second per spray bar, crazy.

Aquotix have them ...

Had previously divided the red v blacks tibee's, but decided 2day to combined them to create a "spare" tank for more selective breeding.... Accommodation a tad crammed, BUT filter turnover is approx x 15, plus WC @ 10% twice weekly, plus sponge filter...:yikes:

Thanks...super excited with the next X... x and x and x or

Well the evolution of pinto zebra's is near complete...shrimplets are maturing and stripes are more noticeable now. Cleared 50% of the moss on my tanks over the past 24 hours, and these are the latest pics of the zeb pinto's.... Have variants from white ONLY tail/black body, 1, 2, 3, to zebra patterns....trust the next F series would produce a greater variety, and secure the patterns/genetics. Now for the spotted head...
