Ya. I have to say I really love the look and coloring and paterns on this fish. Not sure if he is a watter pet per say... I have heard they are shy. but both my wife and I love them.
My wife is the one that pointed them out when a guy of craigslist was selling his fry. And from the 4 fry I have now and the 5 more members of there brother and sisters be will be adding. We are pretty content with them. And I know that as they grow, and if im lucky in finding a male and female. We will need to separate them down the road. But by then I will have our 300g tank or have built our extra long 22" tall and 22" deep plywood aquarium for anyone without a mate.
As a young man I got into oscars, and jack Dempsey fish with just hob filter like marineland emperor and " millenium 1000" hob filters. I know there are a lot of good typs of fish out there. But we are kind of fond of the Festaes.
I thank everyone for the help and now im going to research making there own food.
My wife said I did a 50% water change like 3 days ago. I think I need to keep a log book. But tonight I think I will do like a 30% water change and then maby another 50% friday. I know having nothing but 18 or so kribensis fry and 4 festae fry is not a big bio-load. But I hear everyone telling me fish geow faster with fresh water changes. Then weighting on the nitrAtes to tell me to change the water from a 125g (LOL) fry tank.
