ID please on claimed Festae

[PufferXtreme]

Hey dudes,
Set my mind at rest and tell me what you think of these.
I thought I'd finally found a reliable supplier of Festae but I'm feeling rather dubious about these

 

[japes]

Definitely not festae.

Possibly Vieja/Paratheraps sp.? Bifasciatus? I'm really not sure.

 

[Hooligan]

Sorry but no way its a Festae.

could it be Texas?

 

[warren4066]

not a festae at that size a festae should have eye spot already. that's is probably a para or a vieja specie and body at that size is too wide for a baby festae

 

[gilkm]

I agree with the vieja thoughts.

 

[cogs]

no no ripped mate

 

[crgeltn]

Looks to me like vieja synspilum juvi.

WTF? You need a new reliable supplier because this reliable supplier is a fraud. Sorry but you were ripped off. Those are definitely not Festae.

Baby Festae of that size look like this.

 

[SOKO]

No festae. You got robbed. Go back tell him it's a fake.

At the most it can be a mayan. But even then, it looks wrong.

Your reliable supplier is just looking to take advantage of you or he knows absoluetly nothing about cichlids. One of the two for sure if he told you those are Festae, cause they are NOT.
