FESTAE: Story of Survival...

[Cyberman]

She is looking good - keep up the good work!
So I just did a massive water change in my heavily decorated 300 w/ my female Festae - pic below. The other female that I though was dead and I haven't seen in 4 months came out - my son said he saw her and I didn't believe him - well what do you know, she survives, but has not grown much at all. Now if I can only catch her and move he to a tank where she will be dominant. View attachment 1242094

You'll have to post pics of your little surviver

Will do if I'm ever able to catch her for a few seconds - I have two huge strawberry pots with a bunch on sponge filters and bags of pond matrix - she must be living in those pots - plenty of food must get sucked in for her

My little girl is starting to pop her colours a bit more now

Male

Totally wrong I'm afraid

V That's a male.... Lots of metallic speckles on the scales... none on the female above.
