My first Festae....male or female?

[Dispatch273]

After taking my children to a museum about 1 1/2 hours away from me I decided to try and find a fish store.....I could only find one and look what I found!! I've never seen festae for sale at any of my lfs, just mayans labeled as red terrors. From my limited knowledge I think it might be a female but I'm not 100% sure.

Great pickup!
Its a female and she looks great!
I have yet to see green terrors at my lfs, never mind reds!

Thanks! I got her for $29. I wish they had more...I would have grabbed them all lol

Awesome! Good looking female. I LOVE it when you find a nice fish and weren't expecting much.

good grab, I personally like female festae more colour wise

Nice! Color wise, I also like the females more.. But the males are stunning as well..

Nice pick up!! It looks great. Can you post another pic or two, it will help to sex it better. Because it could go either way with this pic.... Gotta love how many festae experts are out there:/ i am no expert but I will tell you by that pic there is no way to be 100% sure. It is a very nice festae no doubt

Thanks everyone! I'd say the fish is about 6" TL. I'll try to get some shots right now. She's behind a divider in my 75 until I can finish setting up my other 75 for her. She doesn't like her neighbors very much right now lol.
