ID and sex

Hello everyone I'm new to this forum and would like your expertise.

This guy/gal was sold to me at a local pet store as a juvenile female Hongsloi. They were locally breed but I question both sex and breed because I don't have enough experience to confirm either.

Thanks

Hi,

it's a nice male A. macmasteri...

Rolo

Thank you Rolo

I'm going back to try to pick out a female, any tips?

Look for a fish with less red or blue on the face, no red (or almost none) caudal fin borders, more black on the pectoral fins, and fins that are shorter with more rounded tips.

Thanks Mike,

Weird thing is that the store has Hongsloi in a display tank and it does look like the pictures on google with the red belly line; go figure.

Does price change?
In general which one is more expensive?
