My Festae Growout Thread (WITH PICTURES!)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I got 12 from flatfishleo AJ on Monday april 8 about 9 of them are a little over 3.5 inches. I feed them NLS bloodworms, Cychlid Delight. Omega one color enhancing pellets. Hikari staple Pellets. Frozen Brine Shrimp.
There in a 150 gallon i do 75 percent water change twice a week. And 30 gallon change everyday. I have 2 powerheads on each side and two canister filters with uv light. These fish look very healthy and fat. I got one at 3 inches thats super bright orange i cant believe the color he or she is displaying for being so small

Unfortunately at the time they did the dirty right before I went back to college in 09 and my parents weren't experienced in raising fish at all.

Anyhow, festae are quite the fish, so enjoy.
