probly they don't get huge like males but still get big but grow slow ad in a 90 you probly won't be able to have any tankmates
thanks, i was thinking about it and if everything goes like it supposed to with the new job ill be making some good money in under 2 years, (six figure paycheck while still living at home with the rents), so if i get one it will give me a reason to get a bigger tank in 2 years. i was thinking maybe mixing her with a jag or jd. what do u guys think? will i be ok for 2 years if i get them as small as possible?
No mixing.A Female Festae is prime for a 90 gallon,and would make an excellent one-fish tank.Plecos can be added to clean up but make shure these species get at least 7 inches.
I don't know that I would trust a female festae in a 90 gallon with a pleco. I have always heard that females are more aggressive than male festae, and that's a pretty small tank.
I have a female Festae in a 90 gallon right now with a female Jag, a convict, and a juvy Texas. It is a great tank with no problems. Female festae don't get so big that they can't have tankmates (10-12 inches). It just depends on the aggression. Mine is the boss, but doesn't do any harm.
so generaly good tank for just the female and if i wanna risk it i could try introducing a jd or other large cichlid.
hmm any ideas for maybe 3 or 4 cichlids cause i never did like the single fish tanks but i love the festae colors. i would be happy with a mix of 3 or 4 colorfull cichlids, any ideas?

If you like festae colors, check out firemouths and salvini. I've seen some incredible female salvini's. Blackbelts are beautiful as well. A full grown JD is a site to behold. Those are my suggestions, have fun!
