She has a large black blotch on her dorsal fin. Like I said before she has alot of trimac in her so it makes it easy. Fin length and humps are not a reliable way to sex cichlids. Venting is the best.

venting is one of the best way to find out the sex of your FH, the other way is to wait for it until it lays eggs....:D ...that is 101% sure that you have a female FH

Here, this will help. The top fish is a female trimac. The black spot on the dorsal fin is present on females. It is hard to see or impossible due to my feeble photography skills/camera but she is getting ready to lays eggs and her tube is dropping. The last is a male Fh.

125.00? For your female?? It would'nt go for more than 15.00 here. You may want to look into buying a fish a few inches long who has a kok started. Could save you $ and time.
