Well over the last few months i have been juggling alot of Festae in and out of this tank LOL..... But now it seems that the search for my Festae breeders are near and end:grinno: In this tank there are a few festae growouts that are waiting to be shipped. amoungst them are 12 midas, 7 RTM, 1 Red Texas, 1 port cichlid, and last but not least 1 male festae 6", 2 female festae 5-5.5":naughty:
So out of the 3 Festae two of them have seemed to start pairing off, but since i recently shipped out a few of the previous festae the male has decided to venture out more and is looking to court both females. Now i can hope for the trio but i know with my past expiriences that its not likely gonna happen lol. But once they pair out ill move them into there own tank and keep the extra female for my back up:) anyway here are some pics of my trio and tankmates.

Awesome looking group Jason. Myself and a couple buddies have a similar Festae project of our own. Seeing how great yours look, makes me only hope that mine look as good. Keep it up.

Thank you Shawn, I wish you and your friends the best of luck also:) maybe you guys can post some pics of the project? There is definitely a lot of planning and writing stuff down for me to do if I want to be successful at this. I would love to compare notes or something down the road:)

are they peaceful with each other? nice setup and fishes

Well yes and no... It has taken some time for me to figure out how to get what I want from my groups. But for the most part I'm not worried at all about any fatalities. I'll have them paired and moved long before I will have to worry about aggression issues.
