Festae questions

[Brazzen1]

No, I see where the confusion lies. I meant that the only fish I have now is the Texas, I definitely wasn’t going to put anything small in there with him. If anything I was going to raise up some tank mates and add him when they were almost his size. I finally got enough room and have been blessed with no more rent, so I can reasonably have almost all of the aquariums that I’ve been wanting. The wet spot has four different types of Festae, so I was planning on ordering a couple and have them in separate aquariums but I’m trying to figure out what tank mates. I can always move them if need be.

Im gonna go on a limb and say he most likely won't like what he's hearing on here with adding small festae to a pretty close to full grown Texas tank that will go bananas on them one by one!
Will also add, he probably didn't think about asking before purchasing these festae knowing he was going to put them in the tank with the Texas.

When I had these guys, I kept them in a large group in a 6ft tank as a species only. Few females grew faster than males and terrorized the whole tank of the group. When I separated a pair, the male got his revenge after he let the dominant female lay eggs and killed her right after. Shame on me for not having the divider in the tank.

I’ve had them twice and both times it failed spectacularly in a 220g, both chicks slaughtered the males and this wackadoodle murdered everyone during the night while she protected her eggs. She always laid them vertically on the side of the overflows.
