I would try and keep them both, I don't know what your tank looks like but I'd aim for 2 caves on each side of the tank, or whatever, some rock formations or drift wood, and then keep lots of plants live or fake in the middle, there both very territorial fish, if there not fighting over territory and your tanks set up right you'll be able to house this fish together for a long time!

You pretty much described my tank. We'll see how it goes. Thanks.
 
Tough call. Great colors on that festae, and a great and unique pattern on the cuban. For me pattern edges out color most times though.
 
Well, they made it through the night. All seems well at the moment. Who knows? I am going to get a few dithers and we will see.
 
Not to wreck your thread, but...... what kind of lighting are you using?

Just a good old fashion 48 inch single tube fluorescent light strip.
