Yeah just found a pic on another forum that's the one. I wil definately be having a word with the guy from lfs. Maybe i will keep it if it fits in still seems to be a pretty nice fish. Any body idea on the sex.

yeah that is a mayan. LFS usually carry them and sell them as red terrors. True festae's are hard to get. You usually have to order them. If you want some real festae's check with Jeff Rapps www.tangledupincichlids.com
