Yes, this was Jason's fish. Thanks for all the comments, he's very lively and the yellow of his mask around his eyes is not done justice in pictures.

Well, sorry it took so long but here's the start of the pics from Skinless's fish in their new digs in my basement

Here's a link to a short video of my male Festae. Tell me what you think, he's in a 150, if that gives you a size reference. oh, if this is the wrong place to post this I'm sorry, tried to check for rules against it and didn't find any. Hope you like.

I'm gonna say just over 9 inches and still growing fast. I have, after a few months, got him to gently bite my finger before I feed him a pinch of NLS. When he stops biting my finger, after about 4-5 pinches, I stop feeding him. Very active, alert and his glassbanging has definitely slowed down in the last month or so.

would really like to try getting some together but had to rescue 3 smaller females from him about 3 or 4 months ago, even in a 150 he doesn't seem to like visitors I'll post some of his pics and his tank in the next few days

Hey, i'm from edmonton, like the new world cichlids. Currently have 3 male cichlids, a festae, manguanese, and a salvini. Skinless is the member who got me into fish and is the reason for me to start some posts in the future.
