hey budjr8000, my thoughts on this would be the male is super colorful and the female looks very bland and not colored strikingly, hope this helps...

With red firefish, the guy with the flashy topfin allegedly tends to be the male. I'm not that familiar with the purples, but it might be the same. Note: be careful trying to make a group of firefish---study their habits first. They can be unexpectedly aggressive toward others of their kind.

I just got two and they seem to hang together most of the time. I'm hoping I have a male and female but there are no differences in the top fin from the two.
