I don't get credit for this one. But this is what I get to start with. Not a bad looking fellow to start with. A few scales missing, was the smallest fish in the tank it was in. There was a jerk Hartwegi bigger than him picking fights. No one else bothered him.
So I was thinking about it. He was surrendered at the Wet Spot so just maybe a MFK member had him and can chime in where he got him.
Any case I have him now and he gets a pampered life in that 125 all by himself. Not even going to try to house him with anything. If I have learned anything in these last two years of being back in the hobby is that, cichlids are jerks and will ruin all your plans. You want more fish, get more tanks .... lol

Ooooo! And here I had thought you might break and go for an Oscar.
That's going to be a very pretty male festae. We have a pair from Wet Spot, both wild caught, and they both have the same dark dorsal and pelvic fins. For the longest time I thought they were both female. It may be specific to the locality where they are caught.
Congrats!
Also, you thought you would just look around at Wet Spot.

I was considering it, but with my tap water it's best to stick to CA, or Rift lakes PH of 7.8 and hard. My city draws its water from three limestone aquifers.Ooooo! And here I had thought you might break and go for an Oscar.
