I think some planting substrate are meant to be acidic. You may want to check on that. Lovely xeno!

They color up nicely.

Are they as aggressive as those "normal" X flavipinnis ? I was tempted to get some but held back as those X flavipinnis I have are on the aggressive side.

Hi Ben,

Certain xeno species, like the flavipinnis & papilio are the more aggressive species.

I have 2 Xeno flavipinnis Red Royal kekese, being dominant in the tank, will haressed whatever new fishes introduced.

We just have to monitor them closely to make sure no major harm is done.
