I found an unrelated mate for my other female festae about 2 or 3 months ago. I seen her tube dropped the other day and decided to remove the divider. He's been rough with her off and on these past 5 days, in fact I thought I was going to have to separate them last night because he kept making her retreat in between one of her escape rocks. He bumped her so hard I seen some eggs drop from her so I figured I'd do a cool water change and give it one more day. I woke up to a nice batch of eggs but have no idea if he did his part, I guess time will tell. They stick around each other and they seem to be getting along very well now. I'm glad to finally be able to see him in breeding dress! Male is 10 inches, female is 6 inches. Hope you all enjoy. ;)
