Guess what I got?!:Festae Male (Announcement)

Take a look at this guy, thanks to Pee Wee, I got him for a tremendously good price. Cell phone pics sorry!

 

Re: Guess what I got?!

Yep, hes a good ole Festae, one of the rootinest, tootinest, roughest, toughest, meanest sons a gun when fully grown and yet right now hes a little pansy, in my avatar you can see what a female looks like!

 

Re: Guess what I got?!

Came from a wild caught pair that came from rapps, so indirectly yes, I got them from Eddie at Bluegrass Aquatics, I cannot stress enough how helpful Eddie was when ordering them. The fry are growing sloooooowwwww, they are getting biweekly 50% water changes, nls growth formula as their staple food with brine shrimp, bloodworms, and spirulina supplemented in for one meal everyday. Feeding five times a day.

I also think that this male was drastically underfed by the guy who had him before Scott got him back. His belly was sunken in, and hes real skittish which makes me think that there was very little interaction btw the previous owner and the fish. Scott said he did the same thing that I did and that was that he got so excited when he found the fry that he bought them, not knowing that they grew like freaking snails. But I think I am going to start seeing these guys shoot up in length, I have no facts supporting this theory, just feeling lol, if not they better enjoy being small in a huge tank.

 

Re: Guess what I got?!

Yeah, he'd be a great addition to th forum, with his knowledge of fish and quality of fish! Seeing them grow from babes on up is going to make me attached lol and thatll be bad if I cant part with them haha.

 

Re: Guess what I got?!

Im not sure I have only seen the vid of his tank, but two of my fish came from him and he got both from Rapps. I only know that he has one mean female festae that was beating the crap outta this male.
