Slim Shady is the Tiger, he's 14" respectively and OJ Simpson is the Red, he's about 12" respectively. This video is about 5 months old, and both have continued to grow since then. The sizes listed above are their current estimated length. I haven't had a tape on them, I don't have a net big enough to catch either. :p

Do you say this because of the dark body coloration, number of bands, eye-spot, lack of Y-bar? He has some pretty decent color on the fins for a Mayan.

I think that looking at the tail and the hue of red on it and the bands of dark color shows that it is either a cross or a F2 festae.

What do you mean F2 Festae? Does F2 refer to "lower grade" or something similar? If it's a cross, who the hell knows what it could be crossed with.

I have a proven Festae in the predator tank, he's in the video posted above at the end. This guy that I posted today just looks funky and I wanted other opinions on it. The eye spot and lack of Y bar make me think Mayan and it seems that others believe so as well. Thanks for the reply.
 


Was there text in here as well? :p

Thanks! They are our center piece specimens. Both are rescues, and both were very, very beaten up when they came home. We're proud of how well they've bounced back with a healthy diet and clean water. They need to be moved into their forever home (300g) but we have to move first. At least move day is 7/1 and coming up real quick.
