My Gorgeous FESTAE Youngesters

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It seems these Festae have slightly unusual facial features... the mouths seem higher and more projected.

I was fortunate enough to meet Ross Evans of One Click Fish... He's the Jeff Rapps of the UK cichlid world and today I was there to look at his marvelous Treasure trove of wild caught cichlids and other top quality fishes. Like a warehouse full of tanks all hiding untold secrets - mostly cichlids including Ornatum... I ended up buying 5 wild caught Festae that I'm led to believe get very red. They're between 1.5 and 2.5" long, at the moment.

Heres a few pics of them sharing at the moment with Istlanum and Jewels - quite a firey bunch.
