Sex/I.D. my New Worlds

7-8" Jag (gender? Looks male to me)





I'm guessing this is a male because of long dorsal fin extensions but does it look like a pure Midas or midas x red devil? (Was sold as pure Midas, is about 4-5")





3-4" Festae, male or female? Or still too early to tell? Only really see his or her vertical bars sometimes at night after tank lights turn off. Blue spangling on back half of body comes and goes also.





4-5" Salvini, 99% sure it's a female because of black on gill plate and colors, will swim up to the jag ALOT and turn around and fan her tail very fast and her dorsal fin will turn a very bright electric blue. Could she be trying to attract him as a potential mate (assuming I'm correct on the gender of both)? Or what else could that behavior mean?






Thanks in advance for any opinions

Nice looking fish, I can't help though. Just curious, how big of a tank are they in?

Salvini is female. Midevil looks like male.

Here is my 3.5" festae male.

Thanks, it's a 125 gallon. Was meant to be just for the Jag but the tank looked so empty with just him in it that I threw a few more in with him. I'll probably just stick with all them til the aggression gets bad but for now they all get along pretty good.

What makes u say male with your festae at that size? Just the lack of vertical bars?

Multiple people have said its a male. They could be wrong always a possibility. But it has grown 1+" in a little over two months. Most of the time males grow faster than females. (Im hoping there wrong cuz i like the females better) but once it hits 4.5" ill post it up here and the other forums im on and see what people say.
