A couple of fresh pics. I tried to hone in on the female. Her colors are brilliant right now.

I feel what you're saying. I could certainly optimize my setup a little better to accommodate these guys. I will try keep them better fed! Thanks!

Good question. When mature and spawning the female will present a deep red all over and her ventral fins will be jet black as well as her eyes. Typically females also present prominent black vertical barring(mine do not).
When not spawning generally the female will have a prominent black blotch on the front half of the dorsal fin at all times.
Males tend to have more blue spangles but not always. At 2.5" yours may be just big enough to tell, but post a pic and let's see.
