Here's a Limia vittata (cuba) that I picked up at the TCA last year. It was sold as something else, I had to research to find the correct name for them.

David, what is that?

shev · 02-02-2005, 04:32 PM

Judging from the gigantic sword coming from its tail i'd have to go with swordtail. i dont actually know what it is but it's awesome!

Lexus · 02-02-2005, 05:24 PM

Ya wouldnt it suck to have that long of tail! I feel sorry for him! It would be heavy!!!

DavidDoyle · 02-02-2005, 10:13 PM

It is a Montezuma swordtail, X. montezumae. When they get tails that long they can no longer catch the females to spawn and tend to spend time resting in plants or on gravel. They grow more slowly than other swords and are voracious fry eaters. I have 3 different strains all acquired from the same breeder over time.

David, thanks for the explanation. It's amazing I think!

wow nice, looks good

shev · 02-11-2005, 11:56 PM

when i first got my 3 fancy guppies, it was 2 males and a female, i thought the males would endlessy harass her so i got 2 feeder females. the fancy female died so all of my new guppies have to be 1/2 fancy 1/2 feeder.

plus feeder guppy equals

I looked them up on Aquabid, snakeskin guppies.
