Zebrina group on the way

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Can you sex these by colour or body shape?? and does the female change colour like the Xingu pike female! when getting ready to bread!

Like Crenicichla444 said it's best to vent to be sure but at larger sizes 10 inches plus the female develops a red belly. Here's a guide to venting them I sourced and I put up a little while back. In the pic you can see the visual red belly on the female as well as the vent differences.

i heard the price was dropping... did you get a good deal? If you don't mind me asking how much each?

I don't know how much he got them for but Snookn21 has them at 12 inches + for $650 and Wetspot has them at 8 inches for $400 and Jeff Rapps has them at 9-11 inches for $550 so they are coming down. It may even be worth it to wait awhile more before getting them because I have a feeling they may becoming more readily available seeing as so many vendors got their hands on them this year.
 
$400 bucks but since I brought 4 I got a little better deal. Yes prices will come down eventually. Anything over $500 I wouldn't pay but I think people got 10-11" ones for that type of price.

Aquascape has lents 10-11 inches for $225 and Snookn21 has the Actirostris you mentioned. He hasn't put them on Aquabid yet but they're on his site, no exact size but marked as Xlg for $175 each.
