Festivum/Flag Cichlid (Mesonauta insignis) - 1-2" Unsexed Captive Bred. Remarks : Festivums ( Mesonauta insignis ), or flag cichlids, are some of the most popular aquarium fish from South America. Usually found in slow-moving waters, these peaceful cichlids fit nicely with almost any peaceful South American or soft water community tank. They make good tank mates for discus especially due to their peaceful nature and preference for soft, warm water just like discus do. Festivums sport red eyes, long trailing pelvic fins, and a thick black band running diagonally from the posterior tip of the dorsal fin through their eye and ending at the mouth. Upon maturity and when in the right conditions, their faces and bellies turn a vibrant yellow or orange. When stressed, black or gray stress bars appear running vertically throughout their body. Festivums are very diffic. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue. Please confirm current availability, size, price, delivery and collection terms with the seller.
