Festae

[Tonivlc]

Those are 100% Uropthalmus. Sorry Tonivic.

Thanks balton, I like too urophthalmus, but I want to insure myself of what they are

Hello, thanks for comments. The most diference it´s the Y between the urophthalmus and festae, but some festae don´t have the famous Y. When they are young evolved the Y or apairs when they grows? I want to insure myself.
For example, in males often not show his lines, the females always, but in some cases, they don´t have the Y how. This festae almost they do not have Y

in my experience, there are 2 good signs of a true festae:

1) the bars behind the head will form a 'Y' or a '4'

2) the spot on the tail. the tail spot on a festae is much smaller than the mayan. the spot on a festae will only cover the top half section, while the spot on a mayan will be much larger and cover the whole tail joint

those are defiantly mayans, here's a pic of my festae when they were that size. The largest was about 3" at the time, notice how much smaller the eye spot on the tails are.

On Festae, the entire Ocellus is above the lateral line.

Thanks, by ocellus is more obius, the ocellus than me fish are big. Then, I have new doubts. I was searching for this fish for his caracter, I have midas, carpinte, goldsaum an managuense. I read the urophthalmus is pacific, somebody have one of this specie? how is his caracter? It will defend fine or the other fish kill they? sorry for my english

The mayan should do OK.They can be pretty agressive,so they should defend fine.

When he says pacific, I think he means peaceful.
