Festae doing the dance(video)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My jags have been doing the same thing, the male is always trying but the female doesn't even pay attention to him..

Poor men lol. At least she shows a bit of interest and her tube is starting to come out. She has a big ole belly too so hopefully it won't be too long before they spawn.

wow Sandy, hopefully you get some frys....where did you get that male...he's a stunner.

Thanks! I bought him a little over a year ago from Jason(freshwaterpredators) and he is by far my favorite fish. He's got a great personality, not shy at all, and is just stunning. He just keeps getting better and better! I can't wait to see him protecting a huge cloud of fry :)
 
Very nice pair, did you grow the female out? I think they get a bad rap for their personality, I would bet it's like any other fish. People buy small fry and expect them to act like some 10" fish somebody grew out from fry. Mine are a little skittish but nothing more than any other fish I have grown out. They seem to be pretty aware of what is going on around them.....maybe more than many other fish I have kept.

Thank you! I just got this female from Jason a couple months ago, she is originally from roadrunner. My festae, even the little guys, are quite bold. My gold dempsey pair on the other hand are the most skittish fish I own haha. Love my festae!
