WC festae, straight from equador. there are 3 more, but im making sure this one stabilizes in the tank before i pick up the rest

Also, those colors are something else, i know the fish is stressed from the trip but dang!

I saw the Festae ocellus but wasn't sure. That's so cool.

Keep us updated with new pics as he stabilizes.

its in a holding tank with my f1 red tiger motas which are about the same size. if he adapts to the tank quickly, i should have the others within a day or so. its always a little tricky with WC
