are these real FESTAE

[crazhrse]

i got a really good deal on these hoping they are the real thing but if they aren't then oh well i might just see what they grow into

what do you guy's think are they the real festae?

**sorry for the bad pics but they are only about 2 inches in a 90 gal. tank**

Newp, sorry. Spot on the tail fin encompasses the entire body instead of stopping at the top of the lateral line.

Nope, Uropthalmus.

thats what i thought but i have nothing in them so maybe i can get something out of them or just let them grow, what will they grow up to be like

 

[jcardona1]

yeah i agree with everybody, not true festae. but mayans still grow up to be very nice fish

 

[dirtyblacksocks]

Not nearly the same color patterns as you'll see in festae, close to the same temprement and beautiful fish none the less.

well i am the kind of fish person that enjoy's nice fish no matter what they are so you think they would be worth raising up, are they slow growers r fast and how is their temperment toward tankmates

 

[dirtyblacksocks]

They're pretty vicious, that green terror you've got in there wouldn't stand a chance when they start to mature...do a Google pictures search for some to see adults.
