i thought takes about little less than 2 months for the eggs to develop before harvesting. Man I wish I lived there to witness that.

Looks like a lot of fun to work on an aro farm.

very true

These are crossback. They come in blue or gold base. Some even look turquoise which I posted some time back. The pictures should tell you which are more purplish and which are bluish.

They will command good price tag if the quality of them is good looking. Not neccessary to be blue or purplish to be more expensive than the gold base one.

i thought it was the lighting that make purple ... so the fish is actually purple from all angles? can you tell whether a juvi fish will be purple, blue or gold?

Apperantly all juvenile Xb do exhibite some form of blue or purplish shine on them when they are small. But as the fish grows bigger, their colour pigment start to develop which are gold. usually we dont sell juvenile xb and term them as blue base until they are 1 year plus of age and got a good size to determind their base colour from there. Generally, gold base xb is more than blue base one.

I see. My small x-back is blue-ish in color - not solid gold color ... i don't know whether to laugh or cry ... i want a gold x-back and not another BB - seeing that i got one of those already...hmmm i gotta ask my vendor what is the age of my fishes

Ahhh, so it is roll the dice if i want to get a purple x-back and raise it from juvi form?
