Which male festae to keep?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
MP_cichlid MP_cichlid what makes you say you believe the first looks like a better fish? Just curious, thanks!
 
Im going to have to disagree. I would keep the second male he is a little torn up now but all that will heal and the fins will repair. I see a lot more spangle spots on the larger male.
If you are looking for a dominate personality dont worry as soon as the larger gets settled in he will be a beasty just like the smaller one is now. Im sure you will also see the reds and golds come out then as well.
Im just a fan of the blue spangled males myself.
 
First I apologize no pics...One is in the sump for shredding the other. Oddly enough the smaller one owned the larger.

With that I only want one male, which I have 3 of currently. 2 other festae I have I am certain one is female and the last undecided on since it is small is very spangled and has the dark bar like a female.

So which that who would you keep:

Male#1: larger, potential taller fish which I like and covered in spangles. Downside is his colors are more cream and green and fins aren't very red, more maroon in color.

Male#2: smaller, but younger. Rediculous red fins and bright yellow body, but almost not spangling on his caudal fin and only on the lower half of his dorsal fin.

I can't keep both because they hate each other...lol
Keep the ones you're not gonna send to me :D

Well, put the smaller male back in and they seem to be tolerating each other for now...so hopefully I can put off the decision for a little... Thanks for opinions!!!! Frank if you were closely I'd gladly give one to you!
