Festae- Quality VS Trash!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
those festaes are nice. i got 3 juvies today they look nice but i noticed the biggest one has a small dent in its body almost like if it was biten out but the fins arent deformed or missing. is this what you would call a trash festae. even though it does look a little better then the others.

If it is actually a bite, or cut, than it's not the genetics and therefore should be fine... If it was born like that, than yeah, don't breed him...

I'm bringing another thought to the table (at least I think it's new, I don't think people mentioned it yet) People were talking about how the aesthetic appeal doesn't have anything to do with the quality, but I know many animals base part of their mating selection on the most colorful candidate, and also the brighter the color, the more likely the opposite sex can find them in murky waters and what not, making the bright colors an adaptation, because it helps them pass their genes on to the next generation, which is all that matters in the animal world. Everything that has ever been adapted is to help them reproduce... This is why many animals have actually developed adaptations that hinder their survival rate but increase their chances of mating...

The only reason they form adaptations to survive, is because they need to survive to reproduce... I know I worded all that weird, but I hope it was comprehensible...

Was it actually bitten out?? recently? or did it show up like that? do you have pics? where did you get them from?
 
Wow after reading all of this has got me thinking about weather my festae is of high quality or is trash. Because I wouldn't want to circulate trash\poor quality fish. Or any with appearant deformities. I'll have to get some pictures, and get some opinions. Lol here's one it's not all that good I'll have to get more.

she seems beautiful, I don't really know whether there's "deformities" or not, but to me that's one beautiful festae :)

heres some pics of what me and dispatch is talking about.if u look at the pic almost near the tail you can see a small indentation on its back . its kinda hard to tell from the pic but the fins are fully intact. sorry about the quality my cell camera sucks.
