I had a breeding pair about 12 years ago, I bought them at Hung Ming on Broadway in San Francisco, they are called Pet Central now. They were in a 125 with a breeding pair of Synspillium that I also bought at the same time. Both pairs spawned regularly, to me they were Red Terrors since I hadn't had to opportunity to own True Festae yet. I really enjoyed watching their parental behaviors. I ended up giving both pairs up to a FishWhore and I think he killed them after they spawned a few time, have him chime in to let him share their last days!

I do have pics but they're prints, I'll have to scan them one day. I'd love to fish for them in Florida one day! That'd be awesome! I had an oppurtunity to bid on a Florida Pair at the PCCA Auction last year, but I left early! To find out theily sold for $5 for the pair. w/ a pair of Homer Buckets! damn! Can't want to see some stunning pictures of these Buggy Eyed monsters!

Now I have only Festas, I'm being overtaken by them!

I have one biggish male boy.

Rescued. Lived in a sump of an africa cichlid tank.

Will post oix....

But nothing compares to what i see you guys catching in Miami!
 
Haven't been around in a bit, are people still trying to dupe people into buying a Festae with these?

If this you guys feel any better, I just picked up a pair of True Festaes sold me me as Mayans! They three the female in since she was getting picked on since they were both in line a 10" x 8" cubicle tank with FH and stuff! They are in quarantine and we will see if they have any potential or just get fed to my Dorado?
