Isle E. Leachies

How big do they get relative to, like a grand terre?? I want a Leachie, I just want to make sure I don't buy "a dwarf giant" if you know what I mean. Thanks.

also, if anyone knows, I read that trachyrynchus are the only live bearers... I thought sarasinoram were live bearers??

Oh, and here's a pic of my baby auric :O)

Trachs are the only live bearing Rhac's, saras lay eggs, very similar to ciliatus eggs actually. Sarasinorum have been known to be sporadic breeders from what i've been told which adds to thier rarity in captivity. Heres a pic of one of my saras just out of the egg.

my male is a little over 9 inches.

GT's get the largest but some can take as long as 10 years to reach max size/girth.

isle e leachianus are one of the largest leachies out of the offshores. isle e leachies usually range in the 8 svl and 12 inches in total length. isle e can weigh well over 180 grams most are about 220 grams if fed properly. great leachies to deal with. excellent color.

forgot to add. grand terre are larger. most are over 350 grams but can reach over 400 and can get 15 inches long in total length.

Thanks for the info! I know, I know, I'll buy that new rhacodactylus book soon.

PS- I'm impressed with how well educated and friendly this forum is!
