1. For a jag cichlid, how do you tell if its a male or female? What size and what characteristics to look for?

2. Same question for a festae
 
Not 100% sure on the jags, But the Festae:

Males are a nice green/brown color,
Females are red/brown with black stripes
From what I know the females are usually more nasty then the males.(correct me if Im wrong)

Hope that helps.
Ive seen R.Terrors color up at around 6-10cm.
 
From the information above, I would have to believe that my jag would be an example of a male.
