Update. My Male Midas has passed away. He almost made it to 12yrs old. He started developing an internal tumor that eventually started effecting his swim bladder. I gave him a peaceful death with clove oil in a quarantine tank. The tank is in a weird transition period since he was removed. The female festae's colors are blotchy and dull while his largest son "Prince" is now developing speckling that's very similar to ones you see in male Festae. He's also starting to swim around more and displaying dominant behavior. This is interesting considering he will be 2yrs old this summer. Pictures of festae and hybrid
