sexy ass looking female what a hottie, like your male too how big is he?

She's sexy alright, all the other male Festae think she's a milf.:hearts: (is that word allowed?) She makes a great mom.

The male is just past 8" and the female a little over 5". She hasn't grown any in the last few months.
 
Around the same size as my pair. The female cleared off some of the aquarium glass to lay her eggs. Wish she would use the clay pots. The male did a horrible job of fertilizing the eggs. I think there probably won't be more than 40 free swimmers out of this batch. The last 3 spawns have been like this :( I think her 2nd or 3rd ever spawn had a few hundred free swimmers. I think they need to see a therapist or something ??
 
Like I said before, you got some sharp lookin RTs.

This is mines second spawn. The first time they ate the eggs but this time I got about 150. There's only about 60 remaining right now.
 
Nice looking pair ya got there. My LFS has some 2" F1s for 10 bucks apeice. Think I might buy 5 and try for a pair.

New Life Spectrum, live earthworms, frozen mysis/brine shrimp and krill.

You know with all the black and orange, it's a wonder they're not the The Halloween Cichlid. :D
