Is this festae a female or a male? I think female but not shore because she/he not shown the black bars so much until now. Size 6 right now.

I think the sunfish is a Lepomis cyanellus (green sunfish) but not shore. Very cool fish with high aggression!
 
First pic is a female festae the second one is a pumpkinseed sunfish. Pumpinseeds are a native species in are local lakes, streams, and rivers and taste realy good. You need a chiller to raise those in an aquarium since they are a "cold water species" and will eventualy die if not kept in cold water. Looks like yoiu have it in the tank with the festae? How long has it been in there?
 
Nice to here that the festae is a female! She is probably just going to get more colour every day!

The sunfish has just been there for some days. It is going to be put outside in a pond later. But in the winter I need to take him inside for some month, do you think he would make it fore 6 month in a South American aquarium...
 
No, the last time I tried keeping Pumpkinseeds in a tank they lasted about a week max. Id get it into your pond asap before its too late.
