dont mean to be a downer but your festae looks female which are increasingly hard to find

This festae is defiantely NOT a female

Nice fish! I'd say male, but my female looks just like that when stressed

Lol yeah cause your a pro right? Stating its definitely not a female is a bold guess cause that's obviously just a guess. With the pics he posted nobody can be 100% sure either way. I would argue female due to the lack of spangled in the unpaired fins, the red tones in the body and the dorsal that is 2/3's black, unlike a males which can look all black or barring thru. So yeah until there's clearer pics its an unsexed festae.

pics are not clear but as jason stated and the first thing i noticed is the dorsal. quite a few of my females looked very similar until a male was put in the tank then true color came out. you should vent it so theres no guessing game.

Nice fish! I'm kind of on the fence regarding the sex of the Festae. Best thing would be to vent.

I disagree. There's too much spangling. Male all the way.
