F1 Cichalsoma Festae juvies!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
To clarify, there are 3 lines out there in SoCal, oldest batch are from Rapps F1 pairs (amazingbetta selling them), next is from UmbeeKing F1 pair (A few in SoCal, more in NorCal, Ocean Blue and Bbcuda66 has some), and last is from wild pair (MainlyCichlid male and female was originally owned by House64 many years ago, a few places in SFV and SGV has them for sale) hope that clears things up!

I'm always looking for adults if anyone wants to trade or sell to me?

You have fry that are F1 from the wild pair, if its from the guy I'm thinking about last month?

Thank you for the clarification, the guy I bought it from was very unclear of which fish of yours they came from. He mentioned a few different pairs. Either way, I'm looking forward to acquiring more from you within the next two weeks!

Finally got my hands on 2 Festae fry! They're about 1.5-2". They are from FlatfishLeo's wild pair:) I'm pretty sure they're UmbeeKing bloodline, but could be wrong. Either way they're awesome! Hopefully acquiring more within the next two weeks, I'm attempting to grow out a pair or two. Right now they're in an acrylic 55g with 4 corydoras and a common pleco. Let me know what you think!! I apologize for the poor picture quality, the acrylic tank is well over due for a polishing.

CONGRATS! FlatfishLeo knows his stuff and is a serious fish keeper. I have alot of respect for the man. As for your bloodline comment you had made. I understand you ment that LEO's breeding pair may have come from that other persons bloodline. My festae came from a local dude that got his breeding pair from some big guy in AZ. As long as you the "wild caught"(F0, F1, F2) can be validated by looks or source. Its alot to be enjoyed and appreciated. Just know that them little guys will end up needing alot more room. I tend to like tanks no smaller then 125g or even maybe a 110 gallon because of the 2 foot depth footprint them tanks have. GREAT LOOKING babys.

TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES. I like scanning through mine and you can almost watch the growth rate through pictures. I tend to take lots of pictures of my festae. At one point I wanted a Cannon Rebel DSLR camera just to take better pictures. AWESOME FISH BUD.
