very nice set up did you know there are a few different locations of them.

 

[Jamowens]

I know they originate from Mexico , Río Tamazula , Río Grande de Santiago , Lago de la Magdalena a few other places , not 100% certain where these come from males are getting bluer all the time but there only young , maybe match them up with other photos when they mature a bit .

 

[fish48]

The males of Río Tamazula seem to be more bluer.   it’s impossible to know without locations.

Couldn't find much about where my Xenotoca Eiseni came from I searched the internet for them , so I went back to the shop yesterday that I bought them from the shops order form had them down as Xenotoca Eiseni Orange Rio Tamazula , good call on the Rio Tamazula .
