Full grown Festivum, juvenile tetras... yes.
Juvenile festi and fully grown tetras... probably not.
You may want to look into a fuller bodied tetra (Lemon, Congo, Diamond, etc.) to avoid the worry.

I totally agree, and while I don't have any direct experience with festivums , I have personally seen HN's festivum behave aggressively toward smaller-bodied tetras. I think the count ATM is 10 rummynose down!!!!Full grown Festivum, juvenile tetras... yes.

I will have to respectfully disagree with HN on the Congo suggestion though... I have seen full-grown, active Congos utilize every inch of a 55 gallon tank. They were over 3 inches long! Stick with Lemons, Diamonds, black skirts, etc.
They should be fine with any cories. They are actually a very peaceful fish for a SA Cichlid.
alrighty! heres my stock then:
1 festie
10 lemons
10 cories( 5 bronze, 5 juliis)
1 bn pleco
hows that sound?

I actually like that stocking ALOT.
Just add slow and filter well and it should be a very impressive tank!

im getting some more jungle vals and hopefully(if i can find any) some brazillean pennywort! this amazon baisin biotope is coming along excellently!
I'm rather into Columbian tetras myself. Rather attractive (like neons and cardies the blue is much brighter viewed from slightly above) and easy to spawn; I've got two 1" juveniles and I saw a much smaller one the other day in a tank also inhabited by a Sev and an angelfish, so they must actually be laying a lot of eggs...
