Female Johanni - yellow or orange?

[CraigMac]

Re female johannis normally orange or yellow or can it be either? I always thought orange but LFS was saying they are like yellow labs minus any black in the fins. Also said u can usually faintly see horizontal bars as well.

Is this accurate?

Every time I see them at my lfs there yellow with the same black stripes as the male but then again I might be wrong.

Thanks for the link jmedic, that shows yellow like my LFS told me, but I've seen other cichlid sites with pics of the female and they are orange. I'm confused!
