Humpback Limia

I recently got a nice pair of humpback Limias (nigrofasciata female had 17 fry I move them to a tank by themselves to grow them on.

I don't think I've ever seen these fish before. If I had, I would have probably mistaken it for a poorly fish and just walked on by

They are not often seen in pet shops when available usually a smaller so you don't see the hump on a the males

I have a tank of wild tiger limia going… adults are super antisocial, I never see them, but the babies born in my tank are starting to know where the food comes from, and swim to the front when they seem me… they look similar, but lacking the hump..

well I’ll be… Tiger Limia’s

tiger fry still growing nicely ( I saw one adult today, while topping off the tank ) cherry shrimp and limia still cohabitating

Overhere, those L.nigrofasciatas are doing great as well. This year I had a lack of males but now that number is fortunately increasing again.

Also my blonde mutations are doing great but don't grow as fast at the wild phenotype.

It's also still unknown whether those blondes are female or male. L.nigrofasciata specimens can sex out early but also very late. And females hardy till none will show a gravid spot. An early male won't grow up large anymore which is a pity. For they can grow up to 4 inches.
