If you followed my other thread, you would see that I was trying to pull off what others say requires a min 125...breeding festae.:D
Well now that there are eggs, and hopefully fertile ones, any one have ideas on raising fry? I already pulled all other fish, I'm just wondering how good festae parents are, as I have searched with no definite answers.
Anyhow heres the pics of parents from other thread:



and heres what I woke up to:
Also, I think I will just keep updating on this thread as it progresses.

I view my self as lucky, the parents are one of the nicest i've seen, aside from the fact that they are hard to come by around here.

Good luck. your festae look good, what are their sizes?
Never measured I'd say between 7-9", female being slightly larger.

I may have the babies for sale, in around a month if all works out.

Anyone know how to raise these though?
 
Mine do fine with the parents until time for the next breeding then they eat them.Mine have been breeding in a 75 for a yr now.

Goodlooking Festae!
