the first pic you posted is definitely a red texas or something, midas and red devils do not have that spangling like that at all, definitely looks like a red texas that just has the red body instead of the red spangles

i got pics up finally, can any one take a look and tell me what they think. im hoping the red texas is the female lol, since most males are sterile.
lol which one the very first pic is of what i thought was a midas, although unlike any iv ever seen. the next ones are of the red texas and the regular texas.

i was actually going to say i thought that it was a male since it is very thick and high-bodied and there is no black in its dorsal fin, what makes you think female? i think the regular one might be female but not really sure from that pic, looks like a male type body but has some black in its dorsal though not really where it is usually in females... i think with these guys venting is going to be your best bet to be 100% sure, and at their sizes it should be fairly easy
they have vented, but i cant tell which is what, they both look the same to me. i dont know which one is male or female, i was just saying i hope the red texas (not first pic, the the "midas") is female , since males are normally sterile from i read.
