PluckyD Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Does anyone own the “Linni” variety from Aquarium Glaser, or at least seen them? I am quite curious how their colors differ from the classic variety. I could only find the beautiful pictures of them from Aquarium Glaser themselves and a head-on picture from dansfish, but I can’t tell what the body *really* looks like.

mynameisnobody Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 @PluckyD I’ve wondered the same thing. I’ve been tempted to buy them simply because they come from aquarium glaser, but never pulled the trigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastie Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I do not have it, seems like some almost long fin, red tipped variant. It might be a pain to keep the line going, I am for example not having much luck with my golds, they seem to have a genetic weakness TBH the normal colored strain looks good enough too, no need to have something special. I know that is a blurred picture and boy are they fat, but look at the red tips n the normal ones anyway. And if you go to my journal, in a post from November last year you can see how drab they looked when I bought the normal colored ones and how vivid the colors are now (just thanks to overfeeding 😄 - nah, joking, I am leaving for a week so I fed a bit more to make sure they are good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 @beastie my guess is that the golds have been highly overbred. I’ve seen the same thing with my golds, some I call strawberries. However, my guess on this other line is like comparing apples to oranges. Also, looks good enough is very subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PluckyD Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 @beastie I love the beautiful yellow on yours. I got some longfins from aquahuna a couple months ago and I love them, but the thing that intrigued me about the Linni is that their body actually seems more gold/yellow than silver/grey, which appeals to me. I put the longfins in with some goldens and I notice they don’t seem to behave quite the same, as if they were different species. Also, I noticed they got very “chesty” very quickly with heavy feeding even though my goldens did not. I put them in an outside pond for now so can’t take pics easily unfortunately.
