My new festea - red terror (video)
- Thread starter bluemoon
- Start date
I think they're males because of their coloration and body shape. By 5-6", females should have more red coloration and a black dorsal fin. You could always vent them to be sure. Or if you post some close up profile pics of them maybe we could sex them. I can't tell from the video, is there spangling throughout the entire dorsal fin?
One has sequins all along the dorsal fin and the other one has only at the end (back) of the fin.
The videos were filmed just a few minutes after the fish get into the tank so their colors faded from the scare.
Last night, the one without the sequins all along the dorsal fin has made his whole face and fins super red.
This one is also has all well ahead of the fin painted in black.
Another thing I'm not sure if related but one of them casting tube facing forward and the other one backward
What kind of pictures to shoot and upload so you can help me distinguish certain?

My first thought was two males as well, but it could be because they were just put in the tank. Hey Bluemoon, where do you live? They have a slightly different look to them than the festae I see in the states.
The one with sequins only at the back tip of the dorsal could be female. Take a close up photo of each fish's side view and post them.
