  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You got it MingKeeh and Lopaka. Im going to start a new thread for him. Lopaka hit me up brotha! Thanks Ralph, I wish these Festaes would bond already and do there thing so I can spread the wealth.:)
 
Nice Festea pair bro, I am having a hard time getting my pair to bound as well, I think I have the same setup as you. Male WC and a female F1. That is one sexy Umbee as well. Looking forward to seeing that vid myself.
 
Thanks Rob, Yeah I have the samething going on over here. They get along for a couple of days and then the male starts to beat on her. I currently have them divided and decided to wait until her tube drops to introduce them again. That way the can get right down to business. I will post the video today. Stay tuned.
 
beautiful pair!! i was surprised when you said the sizes, your female looks like a monster! love that profile of her!!

my pair are both wild caught, ii put a big strawberry pot in the corner, covered it in pieces of wood to make a nice cave. and then put in a bunch of other much smaller fish. i had a 6 inch green terror, 2 3 inch green terrors, a 5 inch male festae and a 7 inch female festae. the only fish that was picked on and eventually taken out by my big male festae was the 6 inch green terror.

they spawned for me pretty fast, lost alot of the first spawn because i didnt get the other fish out in time. now the pair are all alone and i cant get them to stop spawning.
 
Thanks Rattle 72, I should try that. Here are some more pixs I just downloaded of my camera. I've divided the pair because the male started to beat on the female. Since I've divided them he lost his lemon yellow color and is now a lime green. Check it out.
