Second - females do have brighter, if not better colors. Colors are a matter of taste. Example: The males can be a gorgeous green/pink so it's like comparing apples and oranges.
beautiful pics. It really depends sometimes I look at my females and I think DAMN they are beautiful and sometimes I think my males look beeter. They look soooo diffirent that they actually look like two different fish. But both are fantastic looking fish
ohh and one of the things that you can't see from vanilla's pics is the males get an amazing green on their face and gill plate that is about the brightest i have ever seen. I can tell it's their but I'm sure the pic doesn't do it justice
Wow, both of you have beautiful females. I haven't seen many true festae pics, but those are definitely the most colorful I have seen. Maybe my next purchase will be... 125g for a pair suitable?
