My festae finally spawned

[JK47]

My F0 'Rio Tumbes' festae pair finally made it official today (eggs in the pot behind her). It looks like the male got to most of them, very few are white. I didn't take the time to get decent pics, sorry. A female in breeding dress is a thing of beauty!

Looks like I need to get started on building them a show tank!

Congrats Justin!!! They look fantastic, great job with them. I knew it would only be a matter of time with those two. Now it should be like clockwork. Those are the nicest Rio tumbes I have seen! Keep up the good work

Thanks Jose! 76 degrees, quality food (I use 1.5mm NLS) and water changes, water changes, water changes.. This tank is on a 24/7 drip system and gets a little over 70% changed per week continuously.

Sweet I was hoping you would see this Jason!! Thanks again bro! I can't wait to get some quality F1's spread around the local market. I have to agree on the looks. Although the male washes out immediatly when I walk up to the tank. His barring goes away in seconds. When they can't see me his barring is almost as prominent as hers. I'll try and get some pics of him without him knowing. Stay tuned..

Definitely!! As the male matures and gets larger he'll get more comfortable and hold his bars longer. I like both looks tho so I'm.not disapointed when mine don't show bars

Nice Justin! That pair is pristine.
I wish my bunch had made it

Funny thing tho, my pair is spawning too Just noticed them a few hours ago.
Must be that time of year.
How is your drip system set up? That would change my life.
can't wait to see updates...
