Festivum is kind of a catch all term for species in the genus Mesonauta, so yeah you could say they are festivums.

You have to give people a little more time between your posts to reply. I'm sure more people will help you throughout the day.

All the Mesonauta species I've kept have made it from 2" to 7" in a year or less. My females stay much smaller; I'm lucky to get females half the size of males. But big males are belligerent, nippy, and large. Be prepared for that.
