some pics of my festae pair... (or my attempt at a pair)

got some good pics up today. starved them for 2 days and fed them some live feeders tonight, they wanted nothing to do with them. been slowly raising the temp. did a big water change also. now just waiting for the magic!

cool colors!

very nice looking fish

hey man like I said earlier great looking fish
and the colors on that female look amazing

wow they sure have more color than when I was at your place, nice looking fish

Absolutely beautiful ! How old is the pair ?

See thats what I'm talking about, look at all that color! Thats tite!

Can i ask how you cut the flower pots? I got a few from homedepot today and wanted to add some hiding spots in my tanks.

Again looking good.

exact age on those two i have no idea. they are both wild caught. i blieve they are probably around 2 years old, maybe less. that is just a guess. i have had the female for about 6 months. she was wild caught. i got her from a friend. and the male, i have had for about a month, i got him from a guy on here along with a female that is bigger then him.

as for the pots, lol. i bought a bunch of them and took a hammer to them. i just tapped them lightly till they broke. some i got lucky on and they turned out nice. others just kinda broke into lots of pieces. i got a big strawberry pot from a place in midway, a garden place right next to safeway. its real nice with lots of big holes on side for them to swim in and out of...[img][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][/img]
but its pretty heave and there is no way i can get it into my acrylic. to big.

awesome fish! what size tank is that?

That was a 75 gal. They are now in a 6 foot
135 gal. I got your pm. I don't have any for sale
But last time I looked a place for pets in
Burien and midway tropical fish both had
10" (aprox) females. Both $100

Those are really nice. hope everything goes as planned.

oh ya... both of these fish ended up being female. i still have both of them but added a big male festae to the loop. [img][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][/img]
