sorry guys pretty bad pics but best i can do as these guys are out in the quarentine tank in the garage. please say ive struck gold with 3 festae rather than uros. they were sold to me as festivum lol, which they definately are not. im really struggling to tell between them as its difficult to tell at this size but im sure you experts will know better than me.

Sorry my friend, that's an uropthalmus. The easiest way to tell is the two dead giveaways. The large occellis on the caudal peduncle and the fact that the stripes by the head stay parallel instead of forming a 'Y'.

 

[tapeworm]

That is correct. You have a urophthalmus sir.

 

[chrismaher1505]

oh man that sucks lol. although as uros go my big one is pretty nice lookin

Def Uro...they're cool fish, just not as cool as Festae.

 

[chrismaher1505]

yeah, i bought them on a whim in hope more than anything. its really hard to find any true festae around here. are the hard to find in common or do other people find the readily avilable in other parts of the world
