That's a nice looking Festae! As for breeding, I think that all depends on what your plans are for your stock. Some cichlids may have a hard time living in a tank with a breeding pair of Festae. But I really love the breeding dress of Festae. If you can keep a stock that will not be harmed by a Festae pair, do it. Just plan things out well now before you start adding any other fish. Is this your only Festae? I thought you had one already. Anyway, good score. I never find Festae on Craigslist around here. I always have to get mine shipped in from vendors or members.

At 2" you really aren't sure what you have with Festae. That 2" male could very well be a female. Your best bet is too either grow out a few more and hope for a few females or just buy a couple confirmed females. But I hope you end up with the number of sexes that you want. I have a few growouts of my own.

oh my bad i was answering your question on what else i have after each comma is a different answer lol,

i have little festae w/c like 2 inches, = what other festae i have
and i am going to breed him in a seperate tank = breed my new male when i find a female
ima have 1 pair in a 100g = i will have a future pair in a 100g

Lol, Ok I got it now. Good luck with your plans. Maybe a female will pop up on Craigslist.
