Earlier today, I started a thread asking for help on sexing this RT. General consensus was that the RT was a female which I am extremely happy about. I just picked her up about 2 hours ago and she's already super active and not camera shy. I love the metallic green that covers her body but of course would love to see the deep red that females get from breeding activity. I didn't get to measure her but she's easily 8" :D which I believe females max out @...LMK know if that's wrong. Also, I was told the RT was from Rapps or another popular fish vendor and its should be either WC or F1. The previous owner was not the original owner of the fish. Hopefully no one thinks she's a he after seeing these photos. Now I got to find her a nice male so I can see her full potential.

What do you guys/gals think of her?

Looks good, weird coloring...
Yea...never owned a RT before so hoping people who own them can give inputs on her looks :naughty:. I'm only hoping that she colors up as nicely as the female RTs I see from several MFKers.
 
Shes got some odd colours.. Probably just stressed though.. Give it a few days.... As for sex, Red Terrors are kind of tough sometimes because they like to cross dress. Try and vent it, thats the only 100% way to know basically.

Thanks for the inputs. I'll give her a couple days to settle in. Lazy to vent right now hah but yea her "red" is dull right now.
 
Definitely looks like a stressed girl the black leading onto the dorsal is a bit of a giveaway. Hope you find her a nice boyfriend !!

Keep us updated with pics as she gets more settled.:popcorn::popcorn:
