I apologize for the picture quality. A photographer I am not. Hopefully, at least some of these are decent enough to see the fish clearly. These were taken today prior to feeding. I have some pics I took a couple weeks ago, but they're even worse than these shots.
She's definitely not overly patient. Also, her belly will change color, almost acting like a "mood ring." While I've read that female Xingu III are incredibly secretive, the fish pictured (the alpha) isn't too secretive; she's quite willing to come out and move around, and will take food from the surface. I'm not putting up any shots of the sub-dominant fish; they were seperated a couple weeks ago. I'll post some pics of the other fish if/when I can get the pitting cleared up.
In some of the pics, you can see my newest acquisition: a 6-8" Baryancistrus sp. L-47. Over the course of a couple days, it has demolished the algal growth on the sides and back pane of glass.
