Where can I get a real deal Festae??

Looking to add a juvi Festae to my stocklist for the 180. I saw Rapps had them for a hot minute...a local shop had some that were obviously hybrids or something else entirely.

Any input would be hella appreciated.

Thanks for the link....I'll keep that in mind. I just wish they didn't have a $200 min. order....I just need one fish

ask your local shop if they can get them in for you, most good shops will special order things that they dont normally carry if they know a customer is looking for it, just make sure to ask for FESTAE and not red terror, and when you look at them make sure their eye spot on their tail is within the upper half of it, if its in the middle and taking up like 3/4 of the height of the tail then its a mayan

200 dollar minimum is only for stores that they use there own trucks to deliver to. my order was no where near 200

Thanks for the input. I'm going to talk to my local shop and see if the owner can order me one.

take the ride down to shark aquarium in nj. They have nice wc ones 2-3" for $19.99 on route 46, google them if you have never been there before. They are nice I bought some back in nov. Worth the trip. good luck

Not to far a ride from rochester and they may have some other fish that you don't see to often that you want

thats why you look on aquabid under tropicalfishdistributors and get the festae and avoid the 200 min order and order as many as you want I think!! Or you can buy my adult one!!!LOL!!!!

Here he is!!!10 inches and I think still growing!!! I might consider it!!!
