Thanks for the nice comments all, I actually wanted a female when I picked him up last May, if you can believe it.

Nicest male festae I've ever seen! Great color and growth!

Thanks much, most everything I read said to expect fairly slow growth on festae, guess that mostly applies to females.

the blue and the red are amazing! Even has a bit of a nuchal hump. Ive seen bigger, but never any better. Modest man, you are now officialy the owner of the best male festae I have ever seen. Time to change your av to this festae

Ha. Thanks for the very kind words. I'm not sure that's a nuchal hump...more like he's just fat. I'd actually like to cut down on his feeding, but he's in a community tank and if I fed any less I think the smaller guys would starve.

I agree 100%!!! Fantastic!! Wanna trade for a Red Midas?

I'm good, thanks. He's actually a bit scuffed up from tussling with a male midas that recently bred in the tank...

Nice festae man, he looks good. How mean is he?

He's been very passive up unil the last couple weeks, he's now started to single out my 8" male GT to harass. They're getting seperated tomorrow. I've grown him up since 2" always in a community tank, so he plays nice.

Here he is last June..
