Ruck, your istlanum has a little bit of a paunch, I'd be watching that. I had mine go from active to dead in a very short time, be careful! Awesome fish... and they usually are quite personable. I wouldn't mind getting another one (or pair) in the future. Same for pantostictus...yummy!

I'll second that. My female was extremely healthy. Bred almost constantly with the male trimac in the pic. One day, she was swimming in spirals with no outward signs of disease or injury. One of the most aggressive and beautiful fish I've ever seen.

Ruck, awesome fish by the way!
 
1fatdovii, where you at? Please verify if it's male or female. Or whoever has experience with istlanums. Ewok and I think it's a female.
 
I'd say it was a female. I own a 4" male and I've sold 3 females this past year to different folks that had a lonely males. Both sexes are aggressive and interactive.

Thank you and I trust your opinion. You want to sell your male? I have a lonely female :naughty:

Sorry. I'm growing this one out to hopefully show. He is developing a nice hump right now.
