My Amphilophus Sagittae journal

I had to put the Swordtails in the Texans tank. The last two days I slept in. By time I got up and feed them, they decided they could not wait for me so they ate two of the Swordtails yesterday, and another two today, they definitely are Devil's!

Well it looks like I might have been wrong with my initial guess on these guys sex. They are now looking like a 2m 3f, possibly a submale in the female count. But as of now there are by their actions and slightly bigger size and a more elongated body comparatively two male's. One is close to a 50/50 split of Orange white coloration. The other is like 90% white with a smidge of orange here and there.

They are done peeling
By there actions and build I believe that these two are male's. So I got to pick who I want to keep, the all pearly white one, or creamsickle

What one do you all like? I am thinking the white one.

That’s tough. I’m not sure I’d be able to choose yet. Lol

 

[dan518]

the first one to form a pair. Or the most outgoing.

If they haven't started pairing off yet, the pure white one is really striking.

No pair bonding yet, the three male's are keeping the two females scared and hiding behind the intake pipes. So I need to rehome two male's quick. I am going to keep the all white one. So I have this creamsickle one.
And this mostly all Orange one.
These two are now up for sale, $30 each. I will double check in the morning but I am sure The Wet Spot will ship them.

I really like the guy in the last picture, the one that is mostly orange...

Looks like I have a couple trying to pair up. Both are mostly orange, about 80/20 orange/white.
These two seem to be pairing up. Doing all the normal cichlid I like you behaviors. Shimmering, gill flaring, lip locking, the dizzy chase circles. They are more vigorous when the camera ain't in there face.
