Can some one splane to me the physical differences between the usual festae from Ecuador vs the this Rio Tumbes.
I welcome pics pointing out the differences. I've searched and it doesn't seem to obvious. Forgive me if this is old news. I've been away from the hobby.
Thanks
 
I'm listening, I'm always wanting to learn more about my Favorite cichlid! Only Peru fish I have is a Male I bought from another member here! Besides that I know that my UK lines are 1/2 Peruvian. I also just picked up another breeding pair last week, trying to figure what they are?

Dude, that was a serious question. There is no point in being a jerk about it.
Here are a couple of links I found. I hope they are more helpful than the above post!

Good luck with your search for knowledge

It was an honest question and my post served to point out to the O/P the typo. Most O/P's will realize their error and immediately make a correction. This one obviously hasn't returned to check for replies. No one is being a jerk! You're on a different thread now. Calm down.
 
John there are a lot of grey areas and confusion within the hobby regarding Festae ATM. I suggest you search Rio Tumbes within this site and draw your own conclusions. I have owned both and must say that I am not a fan of the Tumbes variant. Jury is till out on their authenticity.
