Today I went to buy a couple of dither fish (silver dollars) to spread aggression between my two festae. Needless to say I have never seen them color up so nicely... or aggressively. The larger one (left pic) has had aggression issues with the smaller one (right pic).

I am hopeful for the future that they turn out to be a pair. One is growing substantially faster than the other, but only time will tell.

I thought I would share some pics with you guys. Let me know what you think.

And a FTS for good measure.

Nice Festae and tank. I can tell from the tattered fins of the smaller one that it is being beat up by the other one. I think adding more fish was a good idea. Festae have a nasty habit of fighting and killing their siblings. Unfortunately my growouts liked to attack and kill all other tankmates as well. I hope they both make it to maturity.

Agreed, it's tail fin is the only thing tattered. The larger one had it cowering in the left corner.

I know at least one of them will make it past the 5" mark. I am doing everything I can to make sure they both do though. I will be posting my 100 gallon setup for these two within the next couple of weeks.
