These have come on a treat mate. Festae are slow growers so dont worry mate.

When they get there they are worth it! My all time fave fish along with Dovii
 
Your Festae are really looking good! I had some fry from the same batch as you and ive had big problems with the aggression too. Ive had to split most of them up and now all I have is the alpha male and 3 of the females left. They seem to focus all there aggression on the group of tilapia I have in the tank so I havent had anymore casualties yet.
 
Hey I havent got any pics. But I did take a vid on my phone yesterday. I have 3 suspected females. The "males" in my batch seemed to grow much quicker, show much more of a green colour and have more growth of a nuchal hump. The suspected "females" were always an inch or two behind the males, had a lighter overall colouration, less green on the body and fins and less development of a nuchal hump.

Sorry about the poor quality.
