FEMALE FESTAE VS FEMALE RTM

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Somewhat true. The fish you mentioned maintain a base coloration which as you said intensify and detensify according to mood and lighting. We're talking about a complete metamorphasis on a dime. And we're also talking Festae vs RTM.
That statement fits festae equally as well as the fish I mentioned; except lighting has nothing to do with the color changing I mentioned; mood does, but that's goes for the festae as well. I would post video's and pictures showing complete metamorphasis on a dime, but as you said this is a thread on festae and RTM.
 
I thought I did. Well , for the record I'll say that of the two, Festae has the most appeal and color to me. Jason even said that Festae are his favorite. I thought that after the last Mod clean up that this thread would take a different course. It looks like another clean up or thread lock is on the horizon. The sad thing is that you guys have much to bring to the hobby that many appreciate if we can get pass the debate. Everyone has a preference that should be respected. I don't see a point in trying to trump one another with pics, videos, insults, and sly remarks. I speak to several members on this thread and I know that each has great species of cichlids and a knowledge of them. This hobby is small. We run the chance of dealing with each other down the line at some point either directly or indirectly. Why burn bridges over nonsense? RTM or Festae, take your pick. Everyone should stick with posting videos and pictures of their choice minus the bickering and insults. That being said, bring on the pics!Peace!

It would have never been a need for the MOD to clean up the post if my opinion would have been respected. Read my very first post. Just because certain people believed I was new here, They thought I did not know anything. I have been reading on MFK for years as a guest. I joined last year and I have very few post just because of what happened yesterday. In the early 90's I was supplying hobbyist with Festae, umbees, and RTM! Canada and Europe! This is why I picked this thread to post on. Anyway I know a lot and I have collected a large number of a few species that I love and breed all the time. The last thing I will do is post pics and videos of my fish just to brag or say I have more than someone. Or my fish look better than yours. Anyway, It is over now. Moving on to something else! Toodles!

I have several that change before my eyes all of the time. Cutteri, Oblongums, Rainbows, Centrarchus, La Ceiba Yellow Head, green texas. Out of all of the color changer's I've owned I would say festae will cycle colors more often then most, but I watch back and forth cycling going on all the time in my community tanks. Just depends on who's horny or pissed off.
