mayan maybe

Which one? If the first 3, is it normal for them to turn deep purple red. Do you think it'll continue changing that color? It's 4inches now.

3rd pic almost looks like a mayan x syn. in all reality they are probably just flowerhorns. my old FH looked just like those until he hit the 5" mark where he turned out like this

Thanks for the help. Any other ideas? Trying to decide whether to keep them or get rid of them to make space for something else.

they are pure festae just crappy lineage feed em good and a little more than frequent water changes and they will pop.

Maybe synospilum x festae? The purple and the specks make me think syn but the bars say festae or Mayan. ??

None of those look anything close to festae. They look some vieja / paratheraps hybrid to.me
