Anybody got any new haits or istlanum you want to show off? I haven't seen anyone post on them lately.
 
Haven't seen many istlanum available lately... too bad, they are very nice fish! Still crossing my fingers on my haits...another huge batch of eggs last night... still wondering if my male is a male...or if the female is just too protective of the eggs to let him get them fertilized! And yeah, the 'male' is almost as dark as the female...but with a huge hump.
 
I've got a 3 inch male istlanum with a tiny hump. Got him from Rapps last fall. I'll post a pic soon. I've got an 8 inch male hait too. I'll post some pics soon but I really wanted to see some from other folks. I'd like to see some pics of your haits DarthV.
 
Once I get off my lazy ass and rebuild my webserver box, then sure! It melted down back in Oct and I haven't had a real chance to get a new one online.

Edit, it's been 24hrs or longer since the eggs were laid and no sign of fungus! Crossing fingers!!
 
I have a group of 4 istlanums and it looks like I have 2 pairs. My bigger pair dug a pit in the gravel last night and their colors are pretty intense. I'll be transfering them to another tank in the next couple days and I'll post some pictures.

Great! I'd love to see them!

Your male haitiensis is getting big. I will post the pair that I bred later.

He eats like a pig and moves gravel like a machine!
 
I don't have any istlanum at the moment, but here is the one I used to have.
