Well I am at it agian lol This time i have 14 festae all F1 from different sources, 6 rtm, 1 umbee,1 blue port, and 4 CL's in a 180g. I didnt put as many decor in the tank this time and it seems to be working out alot better as far as conspecific aggression goes. Although there still is some ranking to be established in the pecking order lol. I want to apologize ahead of time about the music.. I couldnt stop laughing but if you dont like it your all more than welcome to mute it;)

At around 2 min in the video you'll see a couple squaring off, the one on the left is from Umbeeking and the one on right is from Cacichlid:)

Dude, you're nuts :D

Nah, really nice Festae, but i wish you'd show us some updates of the general and your other umbees too ;)
 
Thank you, but the General has past away over 6 months ago. I do have some fry still growing out from him. ill get some videos up of my umbees soon ive just been really busy with other projects:)
 
Oh man, i'm really sorry to hear. I was wondering why i haven't seen anything of him in so long lol.. Doh.

Well, atleast you have fry from him, so you know you got more uber-high quality umbees in the making :) Can't wait to see them all!
 
Wow I had a pretty close growout stock list in my 125 for a while. Where are the RTM from?

Yeah i have alot of umbees from him lol right now i have about 6 at 3.5-4.5" that need homes. The rest are 1.5-3" ive got the largest one divided with Monster X to pull out his potential and i might hang on to that guy, but as for the rest, i am selling them.

The festae look awsome :)

Thank you:) I love Festae!!! lol

Thank you Justin. 4 of the RTMs are from my original Rio Blanco pair and i just bought 2 Rio Copan from Rapps.

Lookin good, what size are the Festae?

Thank you. The Festae range 2-3.75" Ive got another source that im trying to get some more from but if i do then im not sure if i want to put them in with this group or keep them seperate...
 
:) Glad to see the festae are doing well. That was one hell of a square off lol I think that's the one I suspected to be a female cuz of the yellow hue/colored dorsal... let us know what it turns out to be.
