So I recently sold my 11 inch female festae for $400. I really liked her and wasn't going to sell, but who could say no to that price. I was at the LFS today and they had a "red terror" juvy of about 3 inches. The guy even admitted that he wasn't sure, so I took a chance. I figured, hey $8, even if it is a uro it will be a cool fish. It seem to have the Y bar, but I have thought I have seen that before and people said they were Uros. So here he or she is. What have I got? Sorry for the crappy pictures. I will break down one day and buy a better camera.

Man I hope you are right! At what age can you sex them?
 
? Never had one. Almost bought the one you probably did buy. Is it from Aqua?
 
I'd have to say male festae. But because your pics are blurred it's hard to tell. The tail spot being Small and defined= Festae. large and undefined = uropthalmus.
 
although its faint you can also see the "Y" on the shoulder. Def. Festae. Congrats!
