That is a male sb Texas, females of that maturity would have a black dot in the dorsal.
Sb Green Texas are invariably the product of hybridization between carpintis and parrot. Usually the product of some ones super red texas breeding program. I am currently developing a strain of sb carpintis that has a very high percentage of pure Texas blood. Your fish looks to have more fader blood in it than my orginal imported female...not that it itself is a fader, but it's at least a carrier of the gene. I suggest pairing it to a female parrot if you can. You should get some pearly faders. If you went the other way and paired him to a female texas the babies will vary greatly in length. I reccomend removing the sb fry asap, they cannot compete with their longer siblings.

Males, small arrow head shaped fleshy protrusion, pointing backwards and down. Females, noticably thicker tubelike fleshy protrusion shaped something like the trigger of a pistol and pointing straight down.
Females and immature males have a black dot in the dorsal fin. Sometimes in hybrid texas the black dot is not present. However, I've never seen a female with as high a percentage of texas as yours NOT show this marking.

it is short body texas chiclid.. I heard that female will have black spot on hers upper fin.. mm the accurate way to determine gender of your fish by Venting..google and find chiclid sex venting..
Short Body is the result of inbreeding. A pure texas could be short body. If it has a black spot on its dorsal then there is a good chance that it is fertile
I've been raising and researching sb Texas for the better part of two years now, again I've yet to see an sb texas that was NOT a hybrid. If some one can provide proof positive that carpintis carries a naturally occuring sb gene PLEASE, I'm begging you, step forward and produce it!
A black marking in the dorsal does NOT indicate fertility in my experience, in fact I've never heard of such a thing. In my experience it indicates an immature fish of either sex or a mature female. You can expect males to reach approximately 6" and females approximately 5"
Oh and p.s.? my sb Texas were bred using an imported HYBRID sb texas crossed to a pure carpintis from Rapps...no inbreeding, no naturally occurring sb carpintis gene.
