Hi everyone, Im back with some more updates and some news:naughty: I just recently sold my pair #1 and bought a new pair to replace them. So now i have re-organized my pairs. First up is my Large pair which is now pair #1. They are unrelated F1 Ecuador. The male is 9-10" and female is 7.5"+ They have spawned twice for me already but i lost the batch while moving the eggs, so next time ill just leave them with the parents. I am keeping them in a 125g with 3 silver dollars. I feed them a mixed pellet diet, shrimp, krill, flake, bloodworms, and nite crawlers;) not all at once but i mix it up while keeping the flake and pellets their staple diet. My temps are currently 82 and ph is 7 for all my tanks.

I dont have any pics of pair #2 so next up is Pair #3 which my first Fireball pair!!! These are F1 and Unrelated. The flash has drowned out most of the bright reds but here ya go. This male is sooo Red its unreal, these pics cant even capture his greatness:nilly: He is 6.5-7" and imo the prettiest male i own and have ever seen personally. He has tons of potential. This female has incredible colors as well, kinda reminds me of Christmas:naughty: All the reds and greens. She is 5.5-6". Fortunatley for me, this pair recently spawned and has free swimmers now:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2 But it was a small batch so ive decided to hang on to this batch and grow them out to larger sizes so i can see how they turn out. Their next batch i will throw into my pond and start selling around an inch:)

Thank you guys for the nice comments:) Here is my newest pair, #4. this is my smallest pair at the moment. the male is 5.5-6" and the female is 4.5-5" This is my second fireball pair!!! These pics are not the best, being a new pair they are kinda skittish right now so i had to get these pics from across the garage LOL This female has no broken bars!! and is Fire Red, but for some reason looks more orange in these pics... Anyway, this pair has free swimmers too:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2 I will grow half this batch out and sell the other half early:)

Now you're just showing off, Jason;)! J/K The pairs look amazing as usual. That last female is very, very nice! You always have some new Festae Project going on. I'm glad to see that you are still going strong with them. Keep up the excellent work!
 
I see a ton of festae on this board but few come to the color and quality of yours. Awesome looking pairs!
