sometimes males when showing there stripes they protrude up into the dorsal fin giving it a female look. but yours vertical bars are not prominant at all but has the black dorsal fin. that is a female. i have 4 festae and my female looked like a male before. i would say yours is 99 percent female. put her in with a aggro jag or something and i bet her colors show up in a hurry.
When I bought it, it had no traces of black in its dorsal fin at all, ergo I assumed it was male as they usually show their colors by 4-5" right? Anyways, here are the vent shots. Now it gots me thinking again. Females are supposed to lay eggs with or without a male present right? How come mine has never done so?
I'll try to get better shots right now, hold on, lol, without the net. Pics are a little blury.

Here's a better shot. From the side in the water, it comes out like a V. If I would have zoomed in, you would see the vent coming to a point. I'll take a closer shot tomorrow if peeps still can't decide, lol.
These were my male's vent shots a from a few months ago for comparison.
Yours looks female. It's really round compared to mine that's more of a V shape.

Expert venters, tell me if I'm wrong.
I drew an arrow to the anus and vent on Fish on Fire's pic. Female, right?
