Seems to be mixed answers on this. I'm considering ordering one of these guys and would like to know their approximate adult size. I've read everything from 8-12" and was hoping for some feedback. Thanks!
Xiloaensis size?
- Thread starter Matikia1600
- Start date
10-12" for males and probably 8-10" for females. very similar and maybe a hair on the smaller side than most other amphs
Saggitae are open water fish, so they tend to be more elongated compared to the blocky build of Xilo.
Xilos are very bulky and deep bodied. With proper care all of my males have reached 10-12" in tanks. Females can easily get to 10" as well and can be rather bulky. What they lack in length compared to a lab or cit they easily make up for in bulk.
There's a picture of 1 of my F1 males in this thread. I'll try to get on photobucket tonight and post some of my others.

Here is a shot vid on my 11" male vid was taken in december. sald he died in january and was a little over 11". I got him last january at 4" so he grew 7" in one year. He was probably the most outgoing fish I have had.
