Festae aka Red Terror

[Scorpio]

Hi guys, I need some advice. A guy I meet in CL is tryin to sell me 3 juveniles "Red Terror". He stated got them from a "breeder" and changed his mind. I ask him for the parents and he sent me pictures of them. Of the 3 juveniles he stated that one is about 3" and the other 2 are about 1.5" to 2". He said he believe the 3" is a male. I really don't have any experience with this Cichlid. I have 2 spare 55 galons I'm planing to set up very soon but I read that this fish grow large so I think they might need at least 125g to be comfortable. Here are the pictures: Any comments will be greatly appeciated.

The first is male. The second looks male but its hard to tell the dorsal is clamped so you cant really look for the "spot" that a lot of females will show and the tail is blurred so its hard to see the spangles that would tell you its a male. Im going to say male on the second also. The third is hard to see as well without a profile and tail shot, Im going to guess Female.

For tank size you would definitely be better off to go with the 125 you could grow the smaller ones out for a little while in a 55 but for the life of the fish a 55 is not going to be large enough.

I ask the guy for better pictures and he accept. so I'll wait for them.
