Help Sexing Juvenile Texas Cichlid

[Timmy_85]

Is my Texas Cichlid too small to sex? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could be wrong, but it looks more like a Green Texas cichlid (Herichthys carpintis) to me than a normal one. I won't be much help with the sexing, but I am guessing it is too small.[h=1][/h]

Looks like a little female to me

For reference.
The easiest way to tell males from females, is that females have a dark pigment in the dorsal.
This does not always show up when young.
Dominant males also have a less rounded profile
The H carpintus below were only 1"-2" in the pic.

The dominant male is easy to distinguish.
Here he is below, a little older, note the female in the background (more rounded profile).
