First is about 6 inches, looks almost like a plain Trimac to me, about 5-6 inches:

Second is a Red Texas about 4 inches:

The first one is not a Trimac its a low grade Flowerhorn. The second one doesn't look like a red Texas more like a Flowerhorn.

Sorry but where did you buy these from?
 
Normally a Trimac will look like this. On YouTube type in Trimac vs Flowerhorn there is a good video on the differences.


Second picture is a typical "red Texas" that's unfaded

The first one is a flowerhorn from a chain store labeled as such. The second is likely the result of a red devil x texas cichlid from LFS here. I bought a Golden Fader from there too that turned black and now is turning a nice yellow and pink...still very ugly but we will see what it turns into. They are living with a bunch of other central Americans in a 150g. The first flowerhorn and King Rowdy, my Green Texas Escondido, are always fighting over one particular cave where a female blood parrot keeps trying to spawn at. There is six foot of PVC caves beneath the substrate and in the mounds :p
