I'll try and get a pic of the adult chocolate as the smaller ones not really that colurful.The mama(Apu)is huge though, shes kinda like a DSP but where the purple is its kinda brownish.
Shaz I saw that there are those light striped purple ones on ebay, are you sure they are not just pinks?

thats a very good price for them, i sold 5 babys for that on ebay lately.
i keep spixi and brigs together with no problems at all, spixis like to bury in the substrate so cute
sharon
Ahh so that was you, I was gonna buy from you as well but this guy kinda owed me a favour.I had just read that brigs and spixis ate each others babies.How active are the spixis?
One other thing do you think a gold nugget pl*co would eat baby snails?

spixis arnt as active as the brigs, they spend alot of the time digging in the substrate, dont get me wrong you do see them out and about too.
as for eating each others babys i see no evidence of this at all , i have spixi and brigs in my main tank and also breeding tank.
the shrimp tank has spixi and ramshorms also with no problems.
im not sure about plecs eating snails i have a pair of bristlenoses in my main tank with my breeding spixis they dont eat the eggs and i have plenty of young in there, i have never seen them eat snails but they do like to clean there shells once in a while
