American Cichlid ID Need?!?!

Hey do any one know what type of fish these are? They were sold as red devils but don't really look like your average red devil. I was thinking they might be some other species of Amphilophus ! I bought them in hopes to find a female for my big red devil male! I'll throw in a picture I my big male red devil as well. What do you think?

Could be a red devil or midas, check out this thread for more information

I just posted here a couple of days ago asking a very similar question. I bought the guy below as a Red Devil but everyone on here said it was a Fesate aka Red Terror. Looks very very similar to your guys.

Yes I agree. Guess what I really meant to say is the above ones might also be Festae.

How can you tell? Not trying to sound or look stupid just would really like to learn... They look dam near the same to me

that first picture looks like a bad ass. theyre probably midevils though. the fry look more libs with those pointy libs though.

the eye spot on the tail is noticeably different. on festae it has a "highlighted" outline. you dont see that on amph fry.
