Over time this one killed all the others. I introduced another male and she killed him. I then paid a lot of money for a wild caught 6" male and she killed him too. I finally came across a male that's quite a bit larger than her and she has submitted to him. I think she's in love. lol
At what size did she start her rampage? I purchased all four of mine at the same time. They are wild caught and were in a 38gal tank with about a dozen more males averaging around the 3.5" mark. I havent seen too much aggression yet. I bought the only female with with the only non barred male that seemed to already be bonded in the tank together. I got suckered into having to purchase to more fish that I was told one was a female which was not so I have had them all in my 120g. I am deciding what I want to do with the other males for now and think they are going to stay in the tank together and wait and see if some outburst ever happens.

She started her killing spree around 4" I think. None of the other Festae were aggressive, just this one. She's a real monster around other Red Terrors shredding up fins and literally harrassing them to death. It's weird she leaves other cichlids alone for the most part. I have a feeling that will change too though when she fully matures. Sometimes I wonder if I would have removed her from the others, would another have taken her place as aggressor or would I have a tank full of Festae right now?
