Both are red texas. You would have to vent to know if it's a male or female. Males have a skinnier tube.

First one i believe is male because of the dorsal fins, second one is in the process of fading, so it's very hard to tell if it's male or female. The male needs to be bigger than the female for it to breed.

It looks like your female is bigger than your male. It's going to be hard to pair them up if the female is bigger than the male.

Your H. carpintis 'escondido' is definitely female.

Both are females. But the second one looks AWESOME! damn, I want one.

It's a really nice female. Your rt is really nice too. It almost has shortbody shape but its not sb.
