Xenotoca lyonsi,
Rio Tamazula Video |
|
|
|
|
|

|
A very hardy goodeid, the
bright yellow tail and overall blue/green sheen distinguishes
this
population. Fairly prolific, females should be isolated to drop
their fry, which are then raised
separately until large enough to fend for themselves.

Select Aquatics Presents- X. lyonsi
and 3 generation Acclimation
This
video introduces a second Xenotoca, formerly eiseni and now lyonsi, named after
Dr. John lyons. Customer questions cover Keeping Goodeids Together, and the 3
generations of acclimation that livebearers (and
likely all fish) go through when
introduced to a new environment.

A number of populations of this fish
exist in the hobby, and it is endangered
in the wild. This is one of the most attractive populations available.
5-15 smaller young (for a goodeid) are born after about 60 days
gestation.
Young should be born and raised away from the adults as they will feed
on their fry.
