He is away on holiday so can't send a pic uuuurgh.
 
Shame you sold him before he got cool, I get bored and do the same lol.
 
They are at times just not like other fish can be. They are more interested in each other and what's going on in the tank. But they are fun interesting fish to watch. The whole breeding process is pretty cool.

Have you ever had an umbee? Do you think a solo umbee is more entertaining?
 
No never owned an umbee . I know how big they get and I can't get a tank big enough to house them properly so I will have to pass on them. Maybe some day.

Just sold my pair of festae and other tankmates... Going to try for a pair of umbees, if it gets too rowdy I'll cut back to a single male and maybe some fast smaller fish. As far as who is more interesting couldn't say yet. However compared to my oscars or midas I've had my festae were boring, but very pretty. Growth wise they did NOT grow slowly...at least until 7-8" which is the size I sold them at (female was a tad smaller)
