We bought 2 red whiptails a few months back, just sexed them as both being female. Since we are in the process of setting up a breeding setup, we decided to start looking for a male. We went to our LFS yesterday, and the lady who works there found us a male. He is so gorgeous. Very fluffy and very cute. :wub:

very nice and good quality pics :) are they quite rare?i have never seen them about

Thanks Cane76

I'm not too sure how rare they are. Although, I've only seen them at 2 LFS's. I've seen other breeds, most are bigger than these. But these only grow to about 11cm, so not as huge as some species.

:D
 
oh My gosh - they are awesome ! :wub: and those photos are just fabulous!

Those females are nice and plump and the male a handsome dude - so I'm sure you'll have some little ones before you know it !!
 
Awww they are so lovely :wub:

Love the fella's little furry face - what a handsome chappie! I'm sure the ladies are going to be eyeing him up soon! LOL!

You are making me want some again! We'd decided against them cos now we've got a red plec and the red whips at our LFS are too small and not growing too fast!

You're gonna have to stop with all these piccies of your nice plecs cos now the hubby wants a Queen Arabesque (I showed him your pics yesterday - big mistake!), I want the red whips and there are still 2 more plecs we want!!! AAAAARGH!!!! :crazy:
 
:lol: Bex, I have the perfect solution girl, get another tank.

I know how you feel. You see all these gorgeous plecs and they just give you the I wants. I'd really love to get another Queen Arabesque and some L340's. They are so gorgeous. I'd also love the phantoms. Green and blue, they are so gorgeous.

So, I know where you're coming from. Not fair, too much teasing I tell you.

:D
 
The MTS are a terrible thing aren't they! We already upgraded from a 29 gal to a 105 gal and there is just no way we can upgrade again until we can move into a nice big house - and that's not going to be in the near future!

Thinking of buying a third big external so we could maybe squeeze some extra's in. We are constantly gravel vaccing so tank is always nice and clean. Another thought is that our 29gal could fit a couple of red whips in as it is currently understocked and they don't get too big - just got to convice the hubby lol! I keep showing him your piccies and giving him the puppy dog eyes! :lol:

At least he's agreed to a plec only tank in the future then we can get all the ones we want!!! :hyper: We are now avoiding our LFS like the plague unless we need something that is not a fish - and we're only taking enough ££££'s to buy what we need so we can't get tempted!

Oh to win the lottery and go all out with the tanks and fish we want..... :wub:
