yup, it was in fact a female festae and male texas.
i've only heard of it done once, i'm hopeing someone else can pull it off
soo i can see if they turn out the exact same.

whos dominant

most dominant - least dominant
Texas Terror
Oscar
Barred Midas
Jack Dempsey

lately my midas has grown a KOK and grown a bit.
he picks on the Jack Dempsey.
the Texas Terror basically just pesters the Oscar all day
and the Oscar picks on the Jack and Barred.
well, I don't know if i can say picks on but she makes sure
that they don't get dominance over her.
she likes to swim and let me pet her lol.
I think my Texas Terror will get to about 10".
he's 8" right now, so when I'm 17 or 18 he'll probably be full grown.

Very nice. I think that it is a female however, based on the dark patch on the dorsal fin.

no it's a confirmed male.
females were a bit smaller and somewhat bigger bodied.
and this is the biggest and fastest growing of the fry.

and he gets dark like that when he's pissed or else when the lights come on.
