JD and Festae facing off

[twhittle]

My big (around 10 inch JD) and my 9 inch festae were testing each other today. They were coloring up nicely for the showdown.

Of course, they both have females and see each other as a threat to a potential clutch of fry. Split them up and maybe they will spawn for you. Looking healthy these days, vibrant colors

Wow. Great colours. Even your female Festae, who is trying to appear indifferent has been coloured impressed.

They have spawned before. I'm not wanting fry right now. They have been in a 180 together for awhile and will do this occasionally.
