My Festaes have arrived

[AQUAMONSTER]

Got them in this morning. They arent really showing any aggression towards each other yet. Some have some red already on the tails and fins. You will also notice that I caved and got a cuban cichlid. I just couldnt help myself I may use my 75 for the pike and cuban once the 150 is up... Total fish 5-festaes, 1 cuban

Score! I'm real happy for you. I hope a pair eventually forms. They look very good.

its probly to early and they are probly too young but i noticed that 2 of the festaes are always around each other and dont swim with the other 3.

Yes, be prepared for a few false calls when it comes to sexing and spotting any possible pairs as they mature. One day you'll swear you have a male and then the next it looks like it may be a female. They tend to chase and fight amongst themselves a lot too. Friends today can be enemies tomorrow. Just enjoy watching them grow and mature. That is entertaining and rewarding enough. Getting a pair is just icing on the cake!

Not really too sure, but I don't think you would want a pair out of them because they are from the same source and could potentially be from the same spawn, which could be genetic issues if they were to produce spawn.
