I found this gal (I hope) at a lfs. He didn't know what kind it was. I beleive it to be a female marginautis.
But not sure. Experts?

looks similar but hard to say i dont think it's a red margin comparing it to mine, i have two red margin females ill post pics for ya to see if that fish looked similar

also sorry for the bad photo quality, best i could do :D

this is one both females have different cooring this one has blue on the top part of the body and the bottom half is like a hot pink, my camera isint the greatest so the colors are a bit off

and this is the other one she also has the the blue on top but the pink is a lighter shade than the other

after looking at the pics back and forth, it's hard to say now hopefully others will have a positive ID for you

I agree, it has all the colors of a margin but doesn't have the red stripe on the tail.
I've had females before and it looks like them, but for the tail.
 
deffiently does look like a female pink margin she has the coloring on the top fins as mine her coloring looks like my second female who has the faded pink/purple coloring
 
id say it's a female, maybe a young one :D maybe you'll get a pair :D i bought two females hoping that their's a chance that they will pair up and i also wanted to see the color transformation, right now i have some nipping and chasing but not too bad im thinking my brighter pink one will turn male

oh and congrats on the new fish :D
