Sex my Red Terror

No need to remove the Sliver Dollar which is non aggressive. Festae needs tankmates to calm down. What size are your Festae? Like any cichlid, they must reach certain size to be sexable.
 
By 5 inches it's gonna be a pretty easy id. You can also vent the fish if you want to be 110% sure. But, 99.9% it is a male. Put a female in there with him and you should see him color up some.

I will try to get some vent pics because I have a lot of people telling me that's it's a female.

Where? Here? Just cause it has such strong stripes doesn't mean that it is a male. I have seen some males that have bold lines and almost rival those of a females. What are the people who think it is a female telling you - Why do they think it is a female? Remember, it's not just females who can have those really strong lines...but I'm curious as to what they are seeing that we are not...
 
bump the heat up to 86 to get it warmed up to show colors. No tank mate is ok. Show the mirror to get it being territoral and claim it's spot; get adapted to its territory. Once terrtory is established and it owns the spot, it'lll let you see the true colors..

the truth is available. Vent it. The skin of the fish alone tells me it's a male, but maybe can learn something here..
