They are pretty small right now, but was wondering if anyone could help with id. The one with red eyes and flower on head has some pretty good pearls. The other one gets some nice red behind gills. Possible to guess sex yet?
Thanks

they are FHs. Not red texas. Too small too look at these pictures to sex. Maybe observationa at home is the best to do that. The ones with the flower spots usually will have black blotch on dorsal fin if they are females. But Im not saying what is what right now bcuz idk
 
thank you. thought they were both probably flowerhorns. figured it is too early to tell kind/sex will keep an eye out for the spot on dorsals and try to post soe pics when they get a little bigger.

yup, flowerhorn. looks like it has some potential of kok on ure 1st pic man, and a kok at tht size will probably be a male, but not sure. a lot easier to identify when it gets bigger. :) and i see tht the colors havent showed yet, would probably be a good one in the future. keep them updated. :D
 
Here's an update with some new pics. Both seem to be doing well and am in process of getting their new homes ready. Both about 3-31/2 inches now. Any idea on what type both are?
Thanks in advance.
