Gorgeous fish! Nice score!

Second one is definitely a female. The first one could be either a male or a female, but I'm leaning male because of the spangles and the length of it's head.

I’m thinking two females.
Bottom picture is the more dominant fish.
The top is showing less colors and the dorsal that would normally be black but looks blue because it is sub dominant.

Anzo1993 Hello sir, if I may ask where/Who did you buy your Red Terrors from? And if you have bred them yet? I am looking to obtain a pair of True Red Terrors, hopefully . Thank you for any help info you might provide.
