Festae or Uro ??

[cichlid_guy]

ok, i was at the Red Terror info here and it named it "FESTAE"
i saw a pic of this.

Is this a Festae or not?

it has a LARGE tail spot.

here is my red terror.

he is a little bigger now.
and i can "kind-of" see the "Y" strip.
i didn't think it was a Y strip till i saw the pic from here!

I'll try to get a NEW better pic of him.
(maybe i did get a True Red Terror!!??)

Both pics look like Uro to me.

Agree; sloped forehead and large caudal spot of a urophthalmus.

**** that uro. i hate that fish! :D

[cichlid_guy]

Well "Aquaria Central" need to update its profiles them!!!!
it says "FESTAE"

LOL - i guess i'm just still upset about getting a URO when i wanted a Festae! :)

I was told if it has a Y or V in its front strip its a Festae!
I'll get a new pic of mine and let everyone see what they think.

I also agree, both look like urophthalmus

I think the easiest way to recognize the difference is red terrors have a small spot at the base of the tale, and the uro have a spot that goes all the way from the top to the bottom(larger to be simple).

After I posted I noticed cichlidscene already said this.
