Here's the other tank. I shot this footage at the same time I took the Ornatum video during the Ranger game...might want to turn down the volume. This one has the male Atromaculatus. I had to separate them, remember how torn up the female was a while back?

Very nice, man. Great variety of fish you have in there, pretty impressive. I like how the tank is set up too, nice work.

Too bad the Rangers lost last night! :) Don't worry, I know I will be eating my words come Friday. But, until then-

:headbang2GO YANKEES!!!:headbang2

Thanks. I had to separate the GT's too not because they're beating on each other but because they won't stop breeding.

My Festae's getting big isn't he?

Regarding the game, we lost again yesterday but we'll see you guys at game six in Arlington. GO RANGERS.
 
The festae are awesome. That female has some crazy colors.
 
Nice festae pair, artomaculatus are cool fish too, have you bred either of them?

P.S. yankees suck, cliff lee will end you.

That a female ex-Cichlasoma Festae. My favorite fish after Dovii. The females get the red coloration and males are more golden or greenish. Do you like her?

Thanks Danny, she's really dark red isn't she?

No, I haven't bred the Atro's....the male tried to kill the female so I had to separate them. I'll try to put them together again soon.
 
I bred the male and this is the only female I introduced to him. They have a strong bond with one another. His mom was a different story, she killed many males before she hooked up with his father.
 
Wow! very nice Festae. How big is your tank? it looks like a 180? how long have you had the festae pair?
