Gold Jaguars from Rapps, Finally found some!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Aquamojo... your jag appears more gold rather xanthic. Did you purchase yours as a gold or xanthic?
 
These aren't GOLD morph. They're xanthic

I got mine from Rapps and they are listed as gold but are definitely an intense yellow and I can see patterns on the face, does this intensive yellow color turn to Gold?
What color were yours when they were small?
Also what is the difference between gold and xanthic?
Then what should an adult Gold look like?
Thanks
 
I did some research and now understand the differences between Gold and xanthic.
Mo, I found one of your old pic's, hope it's O.K. to post here
If mine turn out as nice as yours then I will be very pleased!!
It just puzzles me why the fry are so intensive yellow........

Yours will darken to a more gold coloration as they get larger. At about 6-7 inches you should see some pattern develop...if they follow suit with mine.
 
Very nice fish man, hope to see lots about them as you grow them out. Hope they are doing well, that was quite a route they took to get to you.
