another observation over the years i noticed too, ive looked at thousands of festae pictures as im sure you all have. there has never been a female ive seen that doesnt have a broken Y bar. thats why i was so sure mine was male too. then i put her in and now the Y bar is blotchy when it was flawless before. looks like her bar will also have a break in it.

Bubba, that is certainly a beautiful pair that you have there! I hope the male plays nice long enough for you to get some fry from the pair. Good luck with them!

I'm with you...I say male as well.

I do agree that sexing from a picture can be difficult because it's always possible someone captured a shot at a moment when the fish was being more aggressive or passive at the time and therefore showing coloration that matches the mood at the time. It's best to get a series of pics and even better a few pics from a few different days to be able to observe as much evidence as possible before making a determination.
