A lot of LFS will have Mayan Cichlids (like this one) listed as Red Terrors

A true Red Terror will be much more brillant, like this one.

I think one of the biggest tells is that a true festae will have a solid Y marking near their gill plate, while the mayan will just have stripes. I also heard that a true red terror has the spot on their tail fin on the upper half of the body, and the mayan is slightly lower (not sure about this one).
Exactly right, don't let those Myan cichlids fool you. Good luck, Festae's are awesome.Hlee019;4589659; said:
