11 Redtail Splitfin Xenotoca Doadrioi San Marcos, VERY RARE Aquarium Fish

Description

You are buying 1 male-female pair plus 9 males of the redtail splitfin Xenotoca Doadrioi San Marcos. The species was previously classified as Xenotoca eiseni but the name was changed in 2016. These fish are extremely rare in the aquarium hobby.
The redtail splitfin is a colorful goodied native to Mexico. The fish are livebearers like guppies and mollies and females give birth to 5-20 young after approximately 2 months of gestation. Newborn fry are large at about 2/3" in size. Males are colorful with red-orange tails and distinct yellow, blue, and red bands on their bodies. Females are olive brown and large mature females will have scattered blue scales on the rear 1/4 of their bodies. Adult females are slightly larger than males and grow to 3". Males max out at about 2.5". These fish are very active and are the opposite of shy.
The redtail splitfin is hardy and undemanding and will accept a wide range of frozen, live, and prepared foods. Their diet should have some vegetable matter such as a prepared flake food that has a vegetable component in the ingredients. They prefer hard, alkaline water and can tolerate temperatures ranging from 59-86 F.
These fish are bred and raised by me out here in central CA. You will receive a total of 11 fish. I ship fish in insulated boxes with ammonia/nitrite/nitrate neutralizer, Seachem Stress Guard, and ammonia absorber granules in breather bags.I ship on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
