Thank you appreciate it , it happened all of a sudden and none the other fish in the tank were affected very strangeAh mate, that’s rough. Sorry to hear
I know this is a old tread i just thought easier to revive this one. Do these Gephyrus grow as big as Festae? 14-16in for males
From the people who have kept them are they just as aggressive as festae? Do the females get the bright red color and black bars like female Festae?
Can a male Gephyrus breed with a female Festae?

Max size is thought to be similar to festae., around 15".
I have not found to be quite as aggressive as festae, but similar to festae they tend to be the only cichlid in their habiitat, so similar to other loner type cchlids, such as festae, M beanii, N haitiensus, expecting ythem to live communially at maturity might be a stretch, and a risky situation .
Why would anyone want to dilute the gene pool of such a rare find?

I dont want to breed them i want nothing to do with breeding anything i was just asking if they could because i have a female Festae and i see TUIC is selling a pair
Though I do not know of anyone who has ever crossed the two, it would certainly be possible being they are both Mesoheros. So it would be best to keep them separate. Also, I listed the pair on Friday and they sold over the weekend and are no longer available. Sorry.
large fish, sexed fish, and pairs always sell out very fast.
