Definetly a awesome looking fish! I can't want to fatten mine up and get some pics.

One thing tho...your male festae looks female to me?
 
Wow!! Your Ornatum is beautful, and so is the Festae. I can wait for mines to grow up. Your pictures are inspirational that's for sure :) I watch mines grow every day, and hope to see one day that it turns out like yours :)
 
Stunning looking fish!! That festae is awesome.

I am no expert, but I agree with the OP that it is a male, don't females tend to have more black on the dorsal fin than that, typically where the fin meets the body?

Someone clear this up, I am by no means qualified to sex festae. Regardless, beautiful fish.
 
Very beautiful fish. i have some festaes right now growing out. i will have to look into getting some ornatus!

I only thought female because of the orange color and the constant baring in the pics. Mine isn't orange and only shows his bars when spawning. But I don't have him in a community tank setting. That one also has some blue spangling on the side like males so idk.
