Can anyone help me in sexing this Electric Blue Acara? I picked it up at my lfs the other day and i would like to go back and get another of the opposite sex so I can eventually breed them! I've had a couple people tell me what they thought it was but some said male and others said female and I'd just really like to get a clear answer so when I go back I know what sex I will need to pick up! I have attached the best photos I could get of it so if you can help me would you please take a look and let me know what you guys think! As well could you explain to me how to sex them so I know what to look for when I go back to the store to get the second one! Thank you so much in advance even for just taking the time to read my post!

b The darsal fin color is yellow on the females.. while the males darsal fin does be orange... Some female darsal fin does be curve just like the male but not as colorful as the male

Females tend to be fatter/ rounder than males. It's hard to spot unless they are together though. If they are expensive in you area it could be worth investing in a few to get a pair and selling off the babies for some pocket money!

That’s not true. Both male and female Andinoacara can have yellow edging on the fins. Here’s my breeding pair:
