I got this boy (assuming) just days over a year ago. I recently moved him from his grow our tank into a 125 gallon. He's playing nicely with a Red Spot Severum and a Red Shoulder Severum. So far...so good. There was a bit of a dominance tussle at their first feeding but things are calmer now. He is a beauty at a bit over seven inches. I tried putting him in a seven inch specimen container and he only fit diagonally. I'm currently acclimating a Oscura Heterospila/Monte Cristo Vieja to be put into the same tank.

Looks 100% male to me. I had a breeding pair 6 months ago that I sold. Your guy already has great color and at 7.0 inches he’s got a lot of growing and maturing to do. These vieja get better with age. Enjoy raising him and watching his colors develop.
 
I am so impressed by this guy. He has doubled in size in the year that I've had him. These colors are just amazing.
