I brought these two festae home a couple days ago. Colors are starting to come in after the stress. These are my first festae so I'm far from certain about their sex. Guessing males, but maybe some festae experts could provide their opinion. Both are about 5"+.
I would guess both female. Some females do get the blue spangling. I have a wild caught that looked just like yours with lots of blues and it turned out to be female
That would be great if it turned out to be both. I got them from a small lfs. The owner loves ca/sa cichlids so he occasionally gets something interesting in. They are in a 125, with an eheim 2262 filter.
