My Whiptails Bred, what are they?

Post by ClearSky57 »

Hi there:
I have a couple whiptails and came home to two of them getting busy in a clay tube... They kicked the green eggs all over
so I siphoned up what i could and put them in a fry keeper, treated with m.blue and waited... most fungused, and i had almost given up, but glad to say a few hatched, and I think there are about a dozen now at 2 weeks old... not eating great, but haven't lost any,
so ever so hopeful.
now.... the problem..... I am not sure what species they are and need some help
I have a couple pics here hopefully that will help id them.
was only able to get shots of the one... couldn't find the other (male i think) as he was in hiding... I did notice when they were in the tube and neither one had any apparent odonts, or mustaches etc....

thanks for your input..

Take look at this sp mainly because it is by far and away the most commonly imported sp in the U.S.

Shane:
thanks a bunch.... very happy to have figured out another fish....
i hate when I don't know what I have sometimes.. not to mention, being told what i have
is different from what I bought them as....
anyhow, much appreciated.
