My oscar got beat up realy bad by my fish (gold saum,JD, Con, festa) and i healed him but they kept giving a hard time so he had to got so i traded him for a jag (paid $8 for oscar and jarg $14 dollars price tag and the guy done a clean swap so good deal 4 me) The jag looks a bit odd to me now its got some blue tint on his cheek and anal+dorasl fin and looks very simiular to Phxcity dovi in phxicitys thread.

my question is what do u guys think he is pure jag? but i have very poor photos of him

Also can anybody sex my little festa has a few blue sparkles on its fins and around its eye spot from these poor quality photos? i also chuked in some old photos of him/her.

both fish are around 4 inches.

by the look of your picture,that doesnt look like a jag to me,i could be wrong though.i had a red terror,was sold to me as that at petsmart that looks like your festae
 
its a festae (red terror) im guessing a male coz of the spots through the fins
 
the first pic is definatley parachromis or has some parachomis in it, possibly a hybrid, if you could get clearer pics that would help.

the last pics are a male fesae.
 
Actually, I had exactly the same thoughts, the first pic looks like that of a female Parachromis Motaguense (Red Tiger) but too blurred to be able to confirm the markings.

The later pics are that of a festae, and congrats, these are a lot more difficult to find in lfs (for us in Singapore) than a jag which is very often easily available.

Yeah its defently a parachomis it just wierd iv never seen a jag with blue in it, and i dont know what the other parachomis look like young.

these are the best pics i can get, i droped my camera and broke it taking thoes picks :ROFL:.

Dam i was hoping the festa would be a girl. are well still love him thoe.
 
my jag has blues, reds, and greens in it when the lights hit it right.
