Thanks guys for the great comments. I have 3 of them in a 40b growout. Then to a 75g and finally to a 125g permahome. I will update every now and then.
Me too. I got them from a friend for an awesome price a few months back. Can't remember how long but they were about 1" or a bit more. They have grown quite a bit but not as much as I would like. They eat very well and have gotten over their shyness quite a bit. I just cannot wait for the female to show her colors. Female festaes are what made me take the dive to get a 125g tank.
