Last week I purchased 6 juvenile 2- 2.5 inch Festae from Jeff Rapps...This is my first time keeping Festae's due to the fact no LFS in my area ever has them...They are in a 40 Gallon tank, Ph is 6.8, temp is 79 degrees, and I feed them Hikari bio gold plus, spiraluna 20, frozen blood worms and frozen krill...
My question is how much longer before I can sex these beautiful fish?

The males look very nice also. I think females show better in pics most the time but males have a lot of color and their color can be all over the place on the same fish. My male has green in his face, red and lots of spangles with the nice black bars. A good variety of color.
 
No doubt the males are beautiful fish to keep but I was hoping to breed these festaes especially since they are from jeff rapps...ill be home in an hour or 2 n post some pics
