It's about 6", lost a lot of it's orange. It is more of a creamsicle color now. Sorry for the bad picture.

Male
 
It's impossible to tell, we need a shot of its vent area. Fin size, nuchal hump, etc. are not accurate for sexing smaller RD.
 
Just a guess too, but I would say male.
 
like Natalie said, the only way to know for sure is to vent the fish. physical characteristics can lead to an educated guess but the only way to know for sure is venting or watching the fish spawn.
 
What will the vent look like if it's male vs female? I wanna try and breed it with a white midas from rapps.

This photo has been posted on a few other threads about venting fish. This should help you out.
