I think Festae are more hard to find than exactly rare. It all depends where you live I guess. The first time I ever saw one was on this site. i couldn't find them near me for a year. Now I see fry everywhere around here! Some areas tend to have them pretty regular.

No True SA/CA Hybrids remember? (Festae being pretty much a Amphilophus) but seriously lets avoid that subject because i nearly got banned last time

The last person I know that had them is Josh Shilling. He worked with a small importer to get a group, but lost them in an accident...

I have a similarly sad and heart breaking story.
