If you got Chancho's and Amarillo's, you wold have two types of yellow/black striped fish. I have both of those as well as the RedIsletas... If I were you, I would get a pair of the RedIsletas along with one of the other two for a better variety of color, unless you like yellow a lot!
exactly my thoughts, i think it will end up being, chancho and 'red istletus'

she's nice.
 
sorry, no pics atm of the xilo's. Rapps has (or at least had) a pic of a large xilo on his main page. When I was emailing him back and forth before placing an order, he said the xilo's and sag's had the most variety in color and pattern...anything from yellow, red, black, blue, white and all combinations. the main difference between the xilo and sag is that xilo are more thick bodied like midas whereas sag are open water predators so are leaner like a zaliosum. That's why I went with Xilo.

One of mine is starting to color up...going to be mostly white and orange. Another shows quite a bit of black which I'm hoping will stay and he'll be blotched/piebald. The other 2 are still pinkish...no real indication yet how they will color up. They are 4-4.5" :)
