Curious troph question

[photogdude]

you never see anything another than WC or F1 troph's for sale, so what do you do with f2 and beyond fry?

[tbui1178]

I see them all the time... sometimes people just don't disclose when they are f2+ upfront. Just ask and they usually tell.

[photogdude]

so HFB people buy them? i always hear and see people saying get WC or F1.

[SunnyHouTX]

Yeah, F2 are usually cheaper than F1 but like Thomas said it's not readily disclosed sometimes.

[moganman]

I've heard that the way we distinguish between F1 and F2, etc could be wrong. I think the main difference between WC and F-whatever trophs is genetic variation which is good. When u get to F-2, F-3, there's a lot of interbreeding with little variation which makes them worth less.

[SunnyHouTX]

So what happens if you mix F1 fry from different blood lines and have one single breeding F1 colony?

You have a Tank raised colony

[mgarrido]

... with a good mix of blood lines.

[moganman]

Yeah true. Not sure how many people aim to get different bloodlines though?

[SunnyHouTX]

What's the difference between F1 - Fn and TR?

[troy tucker]

I want to know.?

[eklikewhoa]

WC/F0 - Starting point
F1 - first generation from WC
F2 - second generation from WC
TR - unkown origin or untraceable origin

The longer and longer I keep these fish the more I realize f# don't matter.

All the fishes sold should be called TR b/c we raising them in our tanks.

[SunnyHouTX]

Isn't everything TR beyond WC?
