I'm going to go against the grain here and say that the fish is a female. If he's had her for two months, and the fish was at least 3 months when purchased, it's at LEAST 5 months old...and that is not a young fish, it's a good age and should be fully matured by this time. I see the oviposter, and I also see an eggy looking stomach. The ventrals don't appear to be very long. If anything, I believe it's a very mature (aged) VT female and that's what's causing it to look so filled out and fooling you all. She does have beautiful colors. It's called "extended red" when they are completely red like this, and it is likely that she is flaring with a mirror, as reds cab tend to be more aggressive than other colors for some reason. The fact that he says there isn't a beard also just furthers my belief that she IS a she.
Phoe, isn't Beau the one that I thought was a VT that you said was a PK? I know the one in the picture that you're pointing out is the one that I thought we were talking about. Maybe I was looking at the wrong fish at the time.
