[lanthony18]

Wow Love male Festae and yours is perfect , my secoND FAVORITE CICHLID AFTER nic. male dovii. Alot of people like the females but give me a nice clean male who has dropped the bars and has perfect spotting all the way through the fins. I have two of the wc ones from peru from cichlids of americas. and they have crazy color at 3.5 and have never seen them have that kind of color so small. I cant wait till about a year to see what they look like. Anyway stuunnig Male and good luck with him.

Makes me want to setup a second tank just for Festaes! Awesome fish!

Thanks you very much.

Beautiful male festae...love the pearls and deep red fins.

Yeah, I really love the deep red... it is from the black sand I think.

Thank you. He is the boss of the tank, but does not lip lock or anything. All my other fish just get the heck out of his way when he approaches. Been that way since I got him. He has never been challenged at all. The Red Isletas and Freddy are #2 and #3 in that order... they are the only two who will lip lock once in awhile. The Festae does not like it when they fight and he breaks it up. Too funny sometimes.

This guy is a brute. Congrats. I would LOVE to see a video of the above, sounds like good times

Beautiful fish.

If I may ask, what size tank do you have him in? I want to get a Festae as well so trying to gauge what would be a decent size tank to house em with other cichlids.
