is the pic of the fish in your avatar a Amphilophus Xiloaensis

Yes, I took that photo the day after they arrived from TUIC.

They are all very healthy and growing fast.

The 4 of them live in a 75 with 3 A. Festea that are about the same size or smaller and a handful of small bristlenose. Many of whom have become lunch for the Xilo's :eek:.

Haven't seen that come up in all the research I have done so far.
They do have a somewhat broken ring of gold around the eye from what I have seen so far.
I would like to learn more about the red eye if you have more info or a link to more info.

Ahhh yes I see what your saying! He is a gorgeous fish.
The xanthic color form various amongst individual fish. They are like sowflakes where no 2 are alike. At least that has been my experience so far. I have 4 little guys and each one has it's own color markings on its body. Some have black splotches and some are all orange or pinkish and some have a blueish gray shading to them. I am hoping for at least one of mine to grow into as nice a specimen as the one Jeff has in that photo.

Awesome collection!
Great pics!

Thank you Leah
I've seen yours also and you have quite the collection as well.
How many tanks do you have altogether so far?
I am currently working with 9 and trying to find space for number 10.
(I am secretly planning to build a monster tank like those mentioned here at MFK- they are all so awesome)
