WAZ Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Finally got myself a decent female for my big Festae! I put these guys in a spare 6ft tank about 2 weeks ago, and woke one morning to find the male had smashed through the plastic divider to get to her! So I've had them swimming around together for about 4 or 5 days now and she's been like this ever since... she looks amazing! (appologies for the marks on the glass in some of the close ups, the tank is pretty scratched) (love this pic!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAZ Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 Thanks everyone for your comments. Andy - Glad to be able to show her to you all coloured up - she sure is a stunner eh? Hope you are not missing her too much - I told you I would give her a good home. Jason - He chose the bigger one mate , so the smaller one is sitting here waiting for you to collect, so you can introduce her to your male. He broke through the eggcrate divider I had between them, which had two of the plastic clips with suction caps on the glass - not only that I had a large rock on either side of the eggcrate divider too. He pushed that aside as if it was a pebble - you can see the rocks in the photos. He is a powerful bugger . I have some more pics with the male and female together if anyone wants to see them I didn't want to put too many pics up all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citypainter Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 That male could bend steel. He is a whopper. How did you go getting him out of the display tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Gorgeous fish WAZ...best coloured female I have seen. I have never kept them because of their really, really nasty disposition. Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAZ Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Thanks Andrea - I dont know about their nasty disposition nature. I have had the male in my show tank for 4/5 months and the only thing he nailed was a couple of tangerine zebras and about 5 crimson tides. Think he didn't like their colours This guy did however grow up in a mixed tank full of Africans, so he has come to accept them. Dave - Yep I reakon he could bend steel, he is one big powerful hunk of scales. Took me 2 1/2 weeks of chasing, swearing and frustration trying to catch him in amongst all that rock. He got jammed behind some of the rock one night and went berserk thrashing about trying to free himself, ripped some good chunks out of his face also (which you can see in the other photos), and gave me a bloody good soaking too.

Mate, you've got no idea how much I'm missing her now you've put these pics up Especially now that I can get that male I couldn't get before But she's better off with you.
