"Mr Happy" My MASSIVE (M) FESTAE !!!

[josh1986]

He's 12" and 2 and a half years old... He shares with my big (F) Festae and a 10" (M) Labiatus.

Sweet as... How does he get along with the devil?

Beauty. Full grown male festae look as cool as the females do their whole lives. I don’t see many of them around, awesome fish.

Sweet as... How does he get along with the devil?

Yeah... but he's the boss. I guess that why my Labiatus hasn't developed any kind of Nuchal Hump yet

Awesome festae, does he bite?

Not bitten me yet. He does occasionally bit his Misses.

Does the fish have a common name? Very beautiful indeed.
