Xiloaensis update...also a melanarus <pics>

[Jason_S]

the one female has a cloudy eye...there's only one pic of her and you can barely see it but it's quite overgrown. It happened once before and went away after a water change and I'll be doing another big waterchange either a little later or tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise they're all growing and the 2 big males are really putting on some bulk.

Holy $h** those are sexy. The female's eye I am sure will heal over time, but man those males are awsome. Simply Gourgous!! Any Videos Jason I can toss up on the page?

yep...just posted another thread with the links. you're welcome to use any of the vids I post to youtube on your page.

And thanks for the comments from both of you. I love the 2 males but need to get rid of the orange one to let the white one have the 2 females to himself and hopefully pick one to spawn with. I'd like to get a spawn or 2 and grow up the juves to try and get a couple with quite a bit of black on them.

Nicest Xilo I've ever seen! By far. Very nice!

Didn't know that they got humps like that.

thanks again for the praise guys

the mostly white male that's in most of the pics is just a beast. I would say he's easily 2-3" thick and that hump....he's a monster.

both males are around 9" SL. I got them all last february from Jeff
Rapps and they were ~2" SL. They don't seem to be putting on as much length now as they are bulk but that's pretty normal. I can't wait to see just how large they grow....xiloaensis are so new to the hobby that really it's not known just how large they can grow. I'm certainly happy with their progress so far though.
