I have a pair of festae around 4" and this morning I went to do waterchanges before I leave for Thanksgiving and low and behold they were guarding eggs! I will post pics later as I am walking out of the door. The pair is about a year old and are from bluegrassaquatics (F1). I could not be happier!:headbang2
a year old and only 4"??
 
Congrats,
 
I forgot that I snapped some pics before i left, sorry about the quality they were quickly done on my camera phone.

tell me about it! I just hope that the other fish in the tank are still alive when i get home!
 
I am heading home tomorrow, hopefully to free swimmers and no destruction!
 
just got home and found little wigglers! I will be moving everything out of the tank and into friends tanks for grow out and such. I also came home to another big surprise, see my other thread for info and pics!
 
just a word update, dont be too disappointed! The fry are free swimming as of two days ago, and the festae pair have managed to kill off 3 fish that were in the tank with them that I could not net out, their fault not mine. All thats left in the tank is a male rtm, I try to net him out daily, but he doesnt want to leave.
