Midas.

 

[convict84]

got sent in the post as cichlasoma festae!

 

[hmoobvwj]

They all look like different variations of midas to me. But lets wait until some other folks tune in...

Using my ample powers of investigative prowess , I have determined that they are fish.

They are an Amphilophus species of some sort , could be Midas , RD , or a handfull of others. Hard to say really. Definately not festae though.

^ Agreed with above, I pretty sure festae don't peel. Who sold them to you as festae?

a breeder from the uk,he said they come from the the one batch,so if there midas,are some barred midas,im pissed because i was waiting a couple of months now!!!!

I see some barred midas, yes. But sorry those do not resemble festae at all. If you don't want them then just go and get your money back.

Don't be so sure that they're midas, a lot of amphilophus species have both barred and peeled varieties. Your best bet is letting them grow up to maturity to find out what they are. I would also tell off the breeder for selling you the wrong fish too.
