Apart from living like a goby, she looked like your everyday, run of the mill xiph, about an inch long, but not scrawny.  good luck with the DOL.  I had good luck with the strain Brousseau collected with a 6 month incubation time, probably low to middle 70's f.  They also liked warm water (probably why I don't still have them now).  Ron

>> I hatched some Rivulus xiphidius eggs one time and ended up with 10 males and 1 female. She was a belly slider. Couldn't get off the bottom of the tank, kind of hopped around like a goby.  I pulled most of the males out, I think I left 3 in there, and put a mop in.  Got fair numbers of fertile eggs out of them.  The resulting fry swam around normally.  I would definitely try to breed them.    Ron
