Reverse trio of Illyoden Furcidons! Pretty, peppy Goodeids in shades of pastel Green, lavender, pink and gold, with yellow fins set off by black.
They are still maturing in regards to color/shape. Lighting that picks up iridescents will show them off best. The camera picks them up reasonably well, in spite of a plastic tank and bad lighting. This is the female and the younger male. Appropriately enough, the female has a definite pink sheen:

Younger male - couldn't get a decent shot of the older male:

They all but ignore their huge fry when they're born, making them very easy to flock breed. They won't overwhelm you like other Livebearers though, averaging around 20 fry every couple of months.
These community fish prefer their water on the hard & cool (low to mid 70's) side but are otherwise easy to keep. I've really enjoyed them but I want to bring in other Illyodon species in the Spring and don't have room to keep them all separate.
Trio: $25
Pick-up is in Surrey, BC or I'll ship. Payment via Paypal, E-Mail Bank Transfer or Cash accepted.
Thanks for your interest!
