Update on my Festae Colony

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Greata looking group you have there mate. If you love this stage of Festae then you will really love it when they have fry. My pair have just had their first batch and it's been awesome watching them raise the little ones.

Thank you, you have a nice pair yourself:) Ive had breeding pairs in the past but those are long gone and i think ill have a nice looking pair out of this group when the time comes. Both of the males in this group are very nice, the F1 has alot of red in his face and gill plate, im really excited to see how those two turn out for comparison. and i have two females that i think when fully mature will be almost 100% red not as much yellow and orange:) but time will tell;)

they look great bro...

Thank you bro:) hows your new pair doing?? may try to up the water changes for a couple of weeks and see if that sparks anything;)
 
man the red on those is rediculous! congrats and keep up the good work! hopefully they breed so everyone else gets a shot at their genetics :naughty:

LOL thank you and if they do pair and spawn then ill definitely send some your way:)
 
Beautiful fish Jason! With all the Festae posts lately I'm starting to think MFK stands for Mostly Festae Keepers......lol. Not that long ago nobody could find one now we're tripping over them. Anyway, still one of the most beautiful cichlids around their popularity is deservied.
 

Thank you

Thank you Tom. And thats too funny MFK... You are correct, festae have been far and few between untill this last year. I do know a few of us that had festae agreed on trying to get festae back into the hobby and it looks like their numbers are increasing:) Such a stunning fish not to have around.
 
Jason, great fish and great job with them... makes me want to get a female now to breed with my male... if I could only be 100% it would work with the Midas and Red Isletas and Argentea... man, I really want a female bad...
 
hey how long would it take 1" ers to hit that size
