My L027 Thread

[matubula]

Sometimes you get lucky whilst taking photos of your fish. I was taking rubbish pictures for about 40 minutes and luckily, after evading me, my largest L027 Xingu decided to pose right in front of me for a good while.

This fella doesn't count because he's blind on his right side and always faces to the right so can't see me.

This is my largest L027 Xingu, I didn't measure him when I first got him because before I could, he had jumped during acclimatisation and subsequently broke one a hard caudal ray, so didn't want to stress him any more. I estimate him about 23cm/9.2"

You can probably see that he is a little slim. He's never been much of a big eater (compared to my others) whilst I've had him. I bought some de-wormer to try again.

This is closer to his normal colour but the flash just makes for better pictures.

Wow not my sort of fish but outstanding pics mate

I remember seeing this sort of fish in the 1970,s and thinking what an outstaning fish
Some were huge but were sold for £500:00 plus

Great looking fish matt, pics are stunners! I have some plecs that have never put weight on, my big papa is allways skinny, your xingu looks just right ;-).
