She really colors up half way thru...
 
She sure did, it's always a neat site to see fish change there colors in such a short amount of time. Both females look great, female 1 glows. Nice males also.......do you know where they originated from?
 
"Beautiful festae! I enjoy seeing your cichlid collection.Thanks for the update. Your Pike cichlids are beautiful as well! Have they ever spawned for you? "

Not yet JWeav, but it I put this thing called a frog hut in there for them but the festae took it over too. Thanks for the comment.

"do you know where they originated from? "

@NWatson, the femal in pair one was wild caught an in really bad shape w/ HITH when I got her and I believe she is Equadorian. That male was a trade in at a LFS, I think he is F1 or F2, not sure. In Pair 2, I got that male from my friend Will who really knows his festae, I thought he bred it but I believe he said in an earlier thread that it came from Dan at Cichlids of the Americas. I'm growing out 10 Rio Tumbes that I got from Dan in another tank and they are coming along nicely. The female came from my friend Mikey at 50 Fathoms. He told me it came from NOLAGT She laid her eggs in a weird angle in the pot covering two planes. Some have fungused up, but I added some maroxy last night. I'm growing out about 20 of Pair 1s fry w/ some cutteri fry separately.
 
Hey post a video on the Rio Tumbes that you got please, because i too got 10 Rio Tumbes from Dan and i want to see how your look like please and thanks! He said that they are F0 right? wild catch fry.
