WOW! .........Festae aren't considered one of the top 10 most aggressive cichlids for nothing - did you expect anything less............really now? I did.
Lotsa trial and error on my part - introducing a female to male with no divider 'cause I'm a knucklehead like that, has led to several dead festae both male and female.
Introducing festae into a peaceful co-habitat with no divider has lead to numerous various cichlid deaths including 3 GT's, Chocolate, Jag, JD,4 Oscar,Blue Acara,2 convicts, Ringtail pike, firemouth - the relocation of 2 Reddevils, Cyano, Carpintis,Dovii, soon to be Gold dust bichar and the death of 2 festae at the mouth of a salvini.
My knucklehead learned Festae don't mix well.
I bought a fry of 8 Festae ( as advised and I listened ) .........now down to 1 male 5 females because I gave the 2 other males away - live in harmony.
