What's a fair price for Festae?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My LFS is selling "Ecuador Wild Caught" Festaes about 3-4 inches for $6.99, they look to be a colorful group.
 
Got a bag of 5 three inchers at an aquarium socity auction for $2 last year.
They were "not" wild caught though, that's the main cost factor.

How well does this fish do with other aggressive SA/CA cichlids?
 
Thanks so much for all your advice everyone!

I will hopefully be purchasing some of IvIonster_Terror's fry in a week or so. And I'll post pictures when I do.
 
I 've kept them with Vieja, Parachromis, and plenty of other south and central Amercans, and Madagascans without a problem. They hold their own with most, but don't back down.

i bought couple of times, 1" for $3
 
Id say is subjective. If I could find a 4-5 inch pair for $120, Id get it in a heartbeat.

As far as aquabid goes, Ive ordered 7 times and only 2 times have I gotten what Ive ordered..and one of those times it was dead. I guess if you order from a legitimate seller that is a member here, you might have better luck. I didnt and Ive had crappy luck there.

Again with this topic, but I just dont believe a LFS is selling "Wild Caught" 3-4 inch festae for $6.99, so be careful with that as well...not saying I dont believe whoever posted that, just dont believe they are WC or even festae probably.
