the ocellus tells a different story

Was this at The Reef in Indy?

I was in there yesterday, and they had "Festae (True RT) X True Midas" hybrids in there. I asked the guy what they would turn out like, and he said he had no idea. I don't have the room for them, so I can't get any, but it was interesting.

They had about 5 in there, and 4 looked like the one the OP showed, and one was BRIGHT orange. I'm really interested to see how these turn out.

The guy at the shop said there is someone local to the Indy area that has a Midas and Festae that keep breeding, and he brings them fry. Would be interesting to see what they grow into.....and they were only like $5.

Yes. I actually work there. I have been looking at these guys every day and have considered getting one. The person you talked to that said we got fry all the time was misinformed. They showed up on a list from one of our cichlid dealers and havent been available since. We only have three left now.

If you're a regular at The Reef then you probably know be better as fedora dave (or the guy who runs the facebook page)

The spot on the tail isnt that of a red terror. Looks more like a midas x mayan mix

DEFINITE Mayan mix, I dont know any other fish with big caudal eye like a Mayan. Anyways most of all the Amphilophus as frys will have the caudal eye like the Festae, small and on top half of tail.

HEHE, I would love to see a Festae x Mayan hybrid
