thanks Terry - - I cannot wait!!!
I do know of some of the differences between x.laevis and x.tropicalis - - and until now I hadn't planned on owning one - due to their much smaller size they could not mix with my x.laevis/borealis colony.
Well, I have a runt male ACF. he is a little over a year old and barely 2" long in body. I had hoped he would grow but it looks like he is a midget. my babies from the July 25, 2010 breeding are 3/4s his size already!
I know that the x.laevis male and the x.tropicalis female will be unable to breed, but I was holding off on buying an x.tropicalis for the time being while I saw how I liked the different species.
What species of ACF have you kept Terry - any favorites?
any tips/hints about their care that I may have overlooked??
