This is one if those tough ones. I've had a couple males just like this one. I say give it more time to finish coloring up. Or vent it

To me if the vent says male then I'd vote male on this guy. See how the yellow from the fish's body extends up into the dorsal? I can't say I ever seen a female have that, they usually have a solid black dorsal. You should listen to Jason though, let the fish grow up a little more and re-evaluate. Nice looking little guy though!

The way I tell gender with festae is, if the tail has blue spanglings, and the dorsal fin is not black, it's a male and vise versa.

Oh the tail does has blue spangle. With solid black dorsal. The venting tells me male. Vent has 2 small hole. But face structure looks male as well. Just the black dorsal throws me off.
