got a Xingu (orange pike)

[lostnight]

That smaller festae that the xingu had in his mouth died today. I thought she might make it.

The xingu is very curious, he was really checking out the suction tube of the siphon while I was doing water changes this evening, the spectabiles were all hiding. He is also begging for food as much as the spectabiles do.

Sweet looking tank.....
I almost bought one at the Aquarium Adventure by me. I think they were about 12 bucks for the little orange dudes.
A friend bought one and it eats all the time, he's a looker..GL

Thanks Muske. They were 24 dollars at the Aquarium Adventure I went to.

toehead, this is my first Xingu, but I understand that the bright orange colors does indeed fade with age, and are replaced by more subdude but attractive colors.

I dunno, I think females turn out to be killer once they are adults......more attractive than juv. Males are still just as attractive as well, just not as bright colors as the juv...
