I have had my doubts with these three actually working out undivided but so far they have proved me wrong... This male is a real stud!! LOL The last time i had a trio situation it was quickly ended with one of the females beating up the other. But this time they have shown great respect for eachothers territory and only flare up at eachother at the middle of the tank. I placed some strawberry pots in the tank the other day and since the male has been herding the females into them and is really putting the Mack down;) I was hoping to get a spawn before i leave on friday so i can re-assure myself about their aggression. but im gonna keep my fingers crossed while im gone and hope for the best. The tank is large enough and there are plenty of dithers. I cant seem to get enough of these Festae!!! If i didnt already have my other stock, i would only keep Festae:) So here are some action shots, i also included a shot of a smaller male i have growing out.

Thank you bro, the females are unrelated to each other and have been getting better lookin almost each day. they must be close to spawning soon. the female on the right is related to my largest female which is almost completely RED!! so ive got high hopes for that one. and the other one is just as amazing:)

Now I know what was happening behind closed doors with Jack, Chrissy and Janet. Dude you got your own Three's Company going on there,LOL!

LOL definitely could put on their on sitcom;) Drama... I think that male might end up being the nicest male i own, we'll see tho.
 
Seriously awesome! Man, they look great. Makes me want to get a female for my male. If it were only that easy. You have a talent sir.
 
Thank you and your right, it isn't always easy pairing and breeding festae:) definitely a species that requires a lot of patients.
