Okay well my mom has the pink cons and i'm getting some new BP's when i move anyone have pics of jellybeans cause i wanna try and breed them and do they have the BP shape i've been getting conflicting info about that subject and are they all dyed?
 
Check out my thread on Jellybeans and BP's....Jellybeans are just deformed pink cons.

~T~ tried that cross and said that they looked horrible, and that they weren't anywhere near pink.

i think they were saying yours was a shortened pink con and not a jellybean
 
Jellybeans ARE shortened pink cons.

I had to double check and ask again. lol. I asked ~T~ for pics of the results of the breeding between pink cons and BPs, so hopefully we'll get some and see what would happen if you crossed the two.

Unless they're reddish or whitish, they're all dyed.

they wont be dyed if i breed them for myself i don't believe in dying of fish
 
Then my guess is you'll end up with something odd-looking that's either red/orange like your BPs, or light pinkish like your cons.

Keep Checking over to my thread, ~T~ is supposed to post pics of that cross tonight.
 
Heres one of my Pink Con x BP's

i hate to be a nay sayer but when people say jbs are just shortbodied cons i am reluctant to believe it. i have owned cons, and ownded jbs, and imo jbs have nicer body structures, fins and head


thinking jbs are shortbodied cons seems to me like wishful thinkin. just like red texas, u don't always get one at the first stages of ur breeding project. also it looks like u croseed barred con/ bp. i wouldve tried pink con and smallest bp female u could find, then i wouldve have kept breeding back to the con for small size and towards the end back to the mom for tail/head/body
the prob with ur barred cross is that blood parrots and cons have bars in their genes so u prob would have to cross back to mom <or if the father was pink back to him> to get nice white/pink ones

i have a jb with long warped tail and a massive kok. i refuse to believe it is striaght con

show me dna test. or better yet, someone breed two cons and get a jb and post pics. ill never doubt again.
