True festae or mayan

[spencer0t]

I was looking for a true festae and saw this at my lfs and was hoping it was a true festae could you tell me

Not an expert but I did get a mayan once sold as a festae, the tail spot looks right on that one for a festae. Mayan have a tail spot that extends below the middle of the tail and looks less symmetrical.

Can't say for sure - but doesn't look mayan to me

the spot on the tail doesn't go below the lateral line.

Male Festae IMO

How much are they asking for the fish. I have seen some at a couple of different shops lately, but a 6" was $59 and a 3" was $40. Seemed a bit high to me.

This one was going for $20

That's a festae. Not a Mayan. Not a bad pickup for $20. I paid $15 for mine @ less than an inch lol
