Well it's obviously not a festae. Shame on you for not doing your homework before buying

There are vendors here in Florida that can provide you with legitimate Festae. Take back the Mayan and use that money to go toward getting you a few Festae growouts from a vendor. I was duped when I first started looking for Festae a few years ago. I trusted a few lfs to get them and I always got Mayans instead. I had to buy my first Festae growouts from a member. Live and learn. In the meantime, read as many threads on Festae as you can so that you will know exactly what to look for. It's really easy to tell them apart once you know the difference.
 
How long have you had this fish. If you just got him I would wait until he colors up better.

No matter how it colors up, it's not going to be a Festae. Guaranteed.
 
This happened to me about two months ago or so... I thought I was getting a great deal... I never seen 1/2" Festae before and did not want to take the chance of leaving the lfs with out the three they had left... they were sold as Red Terrors, which they are both (Festae & Mayan) sold as... they ended up being Mayan tho. As already stated... live and learn.
