i just purchased 4 1 1/2" Cichlasoma festae.. parents are wild caught,and at thier size the fins are already showing color.. i am very excited.. the little dot on the tail is round and above the centerline of the fish.. waiting to see if any pair eventually.. i am so glad i found a breeder of these fish .. i have been looking for awhile :) they are to hard to get a pic of right now..i will post some when i get some good ones
 
Great pal

Thinking of switching to these beauty's myself.... :nilly:

Lovely fish :headbang2
 
I Bought a 150g just for my festae
 
i have them in a 250 gal,but i also have 2 jaguar cichlids in there ,and 1 cuban cichlid .. the cuban is running the tank at the moment.. they all seem to be doing well though .. lots of hiding spots
 
Congrats on the find! They are my favorite!

Where did you get it? I've been looking for one too.
 
Congrats on your festae. I wish I could help the rest of you we have about 100 half inch fry right now and the parents are tending more eggs now. If you move to Alberta I will fix you up lol.
 
Congrats on the find
