Red terror sexing and help!

[Cichlids621]

I have a red terror which I believe is female but i want to make sure. If it is a female I'm wondering if one GT and this red terror would be ok for a 75. Right now their divided in a 55 but only temporarily.
Please help Thanks!

It does look like a female, but red has nothing to do with it.
Females have a dark area of color in the dorsal, which the one in your pic has.
It also has a lack of blue spangling in the unpaired fins, which sometimes, is a female trait like yours.

As an example here is a female.

same female in a different mood, note the dorsal coloration.

and another shot of two females

I would say no to the 75

i think a 75 would work for a solo female but I'm going to try and upgrade to a 90

female. no go on the GT and her in a 75. I would say solo you could swing a 75 for a while but would eventually wanna upgrade to maybe a 90.

I looked at the video, and although the first is a bit too dark to be sure, the updated video is clearer, and although both are still young, they both look like females to me, because both seem to have dark areas in the anterior of the dorsal, and both have a more torpedo shaped profile. Males tend to be steeper, like the one below.
