Can anyone identify the sex of the Midas/RD?

Does anyone know if it is a Midas or RD?

And what is up with the edges of the fins turning black?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

:confused:

i am not 100% but i think it looks like a male, if you didn't get it wild caught or f1 then it is almost certainly a mix between devil and midas. as for the coloring, i have had midas that change color throughout their lives but it might just be the natural coloring of your fish. either way it is a good looking cichlid
 
Thanks for the information.
I'm sure hoping for a male, and some unique markings would be cool.
He is a cool fish regardless.
 
It is a red devil, you can tell by the mouth structure. I need vent shot to determine its sex 100%.
 
It is a Petsmart Mutt, it was in the Midas tank, but that doesn't mean much. I don't want to stress him out by taking him out and venting. He is strating to look more like a male everyday, and eats like a horse. I will send updated pictures in about a month.

I would agree, It looks more RD. I can't tell the sex and would not want to guess, I've been wrong before and with young fish it's very diffacult without checking the vent. At any rate it's a nice looking fish with some character.
