I think my festae is female? A few weeks ago i posted and everyone agreed male but now im confused males dont have black on their dorsal... here are the only pics i was able to get... this is by far the hardest fish to sex when young and i cant even vent it because she/he is only 4"

It's still too small to tell for sure. Males at that age can have black on their dorsal. On this one, it's not even solid black, just a couple of blotches. It also has some spangling throughout it's dorsal fin which females don't usually have. But it's overall body shape and rounded fins look female. Hard to say at this point.
