    Pairing festae

    I recently acquired 7 WC festae that were between 3 and 4 inches. Over the past month they've all grown anywhere from one half to an inch in length. (Thought they were slow growers but I'm pleasantly surprised). Anyways they are starting to show some adult coloring and I appear to have 4 females...

    Festae Cichlid Progression Thread

    Here's a picture of one of my Red Terror grow outs, a real stunner considering he's only just pushing over 3.5" and showing the majority of his colors already. He has been kept in a tank with a more dominant RTM and a smaller Texas recently, so the colors would normally be much brighter...

    Looking to sell my group of approximately 30-35 festae fry (1/4-1/2 an inch or so, a little over a month old).

    WTB: Female festae

    Looking for a 4" to 6" female festae. I'm willing to drive an hour or two to meet up, so most anywhere in the DC / MD/ VA (and the closer parts of PA and WV) area should work. If not, I'd also be OK with having one shipped as long as you're comfortable/experienced with shipping. I would be...

    Red, blue and green?

    Drunken idea: female festae, true parot and lenticulata pike together in 125? Could this work longer term? Assuming lots of drift wood and plants?
