Hello everyone, I just recently joined the community and this is my first post here. To say im new might be an understatement because i've know about this site and have been creeping around.
Anyways, i finally decided to officially join because I just bought two new fish that i was told were "red terrors" by my LFS. The guy who caught the fish for me told me that he knew there were false and true red terrors but he didnt know how to tell the difference. I bought two, hoping to get a pair. I have a three day period to return the fish for store credit so hopefully you guys can help identify them for me before then.
here's the pic of the one that Im hoping is a male (his dorsal and annal fin is actually a little longer than the pic make it out to be)
here's the pic for the one im hoping is a female
forgot to mention, if you guys are able to sex them that would be great. if you notice, on the "males" left side and the "females" right side, their vertical bars merge( te male was faded out so the pic dosn't sow it clearly). I've read tat true festae's were supposed to have a "Y" shape vertical bar but I was thinking that these guys might be too small (they're about 3 inches)
