The addiction is about to begin for me now that I have a screen top in the making along with a quarantine tank. I plan on going with 2 maybe 3 fairies and maybe a male & female pair of leopards.

I would say male Nahacky. I'm by far no expert but from what I've seen in person and on the net the Hooded is a darker red and the dorsal fin is also more red(Nahacky more yellow). They are soooo similar though that it's so difficult to say for sure.
Maybe this will help a little

Looks like it to me. Depending on when you got it, this could be him at the collecting station...
