Default and the Red terror is actually a Mayan...

So yes folks..once again the expert at the LFS is clueless.

Are you sure that is a Festea?

He said it was...and so did his buddy there.

Well it is not.

The thing that started to make me wonder was she or he..think it may be a she had a green sheen on her head. Then after some reading and pictures..I see the circle at the tail is small and usuallu up on festea..and large and centered on the Mayan. Also the lines are not straight on a festae near the head.

Not to mention..some pics of the Mayan are like I took them of mine..identical.

Not that I am disappointed, but the guy at LFS is an expert at Red terrors.I wanted a red terror!

He claimed his pair were on Tropical fish hobbiest magazine's cover..he aslo wrote two books and used to own farms which had festaes.

Maybe he was just wrong this time..but I guess I will take a pic and show him and ask..so what Cichlid is this?
