Festae or Mayan?

Got them at the WetSpot, they were in a dark tank and about 1/2" long, I snatched the last four.

Oh, yeah they have a bunch more at the Exchange though. Steve likes the species, and he definitely knows the difference between a festae and a mayan. They look big in your pics, when I saw them at the store they were TINY.

Yeah, I knew they were festae when I saw them, just thought some photos of small guys might help people out who buy mayans as festae. They're growing pretty quick, they're probably the smallest cichlids I've ever bought, they were about the size of my fingernail when I got them (Sept 12th I think) a month ago.
