male red/orange F1 MIdas from TUIC

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
oops...was going to post the xilo pictures in another thread..oh well. lol 3 of the pics are of my F1 male xiloaensis from Rapps. He's about 4 years old, 10" SL and very thick. :)
 
nice to see that xilo again. That midas has a nice hump looks similiar to my midas from rapps in my avatar.
 
Love the midas and especially love that xilo. Did you ever get a successful spawn from them?
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments. These are currently my 2 favorite fish. :)

Unfortunately no. The male xilo has never shown any interest in breeding. :( Of course it could be because there's a lot of commotion in the tank due to the number of fish. I would probably have a lot better luck if I moved the male and one or both female xilo's to their own divided tank but don't have the spare tank at the moment and not really interested in breeding right now anyway.

wow! Very nice! i like the solid colors and their shapes. Really nice! what do you feed them?

The orange midas has the brightest orange I've seen on one in person. I swear this guy almost glows in the tank. lol Unfortunately the pics don't pic up just how bright the color is. I used to feed exclusively ken's fish pellets but about a year and a half ago I started ordering NLS and have been feeding them mostly NLS with some kens pellets and Xtreme mixed in on occasion.
