I have a dilemma
I now have 2 pair of Nanochromis transvestitus....these are extremely rare in Australia because they are no longer a legal import...and those that are here are no doubt inbreed
My first inspection has proved to be incorrect
One of the males has a deformed mouth....normally I'd banish any fish with deformaties to a community tank....but I wondering should I breed with this male(it doubles my chance of success) and cull any deformed fry
or do I leave it to the Best male and Hope he does the job???
He may still have fry with deformaties but hopefully a lesser % than the deformed one
