I just got a couple Festae yesterday and I know one is male because he has a lot of spangles with no bars. He has that green sheen on his face, and just looks like a male from all the pictures i've seen of other Festae. He colored up tremendously over the night, I was really surprised when I got up and seen him. The other one though is a bit smaller with less spangles on the tail, and shows their bars quite often, usually when the male goes by it. I do notice a bit of a green sheen on this ones face though, and I do know that the females are usually more colorful so I'm not sure. The bigger male kind of goes up and does the tail slap thing and the other one does it back too, but every now and then he gets just a tad bit too aggressive and takes a little nip at the side of the her/him. Overall, they do very well with each other and swim together a lot. So what do you guys think, male or female on the barred one?
