This is an Xanthic colour Jag thread, have you read any of it? its a good read .lol...;)
 
please keep us updated on those babies... love to see more pics...
 
Ian has a juv that he think is Xanthic, not seen any pics or anythig of it?

post a pic martin!
 
Well, lots of spawns later and no xanthic fry so far, although I have sold a few to people, so who knows what they'll end up with!

Ken (fishfarm) is now has these, so I'm hoping to find out how he's succeeded where we have failed.

I keep staring at the huge batches of fry in with their parents hoping I'm going to see one with no black pigment...

;)
 
I got a xanthic from Ken today. here it is: (he's tiny, not even 1" yet)

There ya go! I have a small percentage of true xanthic from a recent spawn of two wild Honduran fish, They are xanthic from birth, you guys have xanthic confused with Amphilophus that peel at a later age to a lighter color, these are not true genetic xanthics. True xanthics lack dark pigment from birth, i.e gold severum, gold rams, gold guppies, they are all gold at birth. I have a wild female Honduras managuense we caught in 2006 as a tiny fry, Mo has posted lots of pictures of some of these fish. I have bred her with 3 previous males collected at the same spot, all the fry produced have been normal. She's a ***** and killed off the first 3 males over time, I bred her recently to my last male and noticed that a small percentage of the fry had no pigment and were gr0wing slower than the rest of the fry and were being eating by their syblings, I thought they were albinos and pulled 42 fish, as they grew it became obvious they were solid yellow, absolutely no black pigment at all, I listed them in my sales forum as future fish that will be available, well people have been bugging me so much I started shipping them this week at 1/2", I have about a dozen left for sale, I plan to keep about 10, now I need this pair to bred a few more times before she kills this male too! I plan to separate them ASAP next time! Ken
