Thanks for the complement ozz. Any idea how an adult Xingu would look like? Are the prices of a Xingu, High Back and Diamond all the same?

Thanks!

Xingu looks like Diamond type Rhombeus.Most of them Rhoms be highback.Only Guyana type Rhoms be some elongated.Xingu is rare specimen more than others,it will be more expensive in my opinion.Soon I will be attach the photos of my Piranha collection,you can wacth the different types in Rhoms.Best Regards

Relatedly, which sort of locale tends to have the darkest color? I'm looking for something as close to black as possible.
