Nothing over 5-6 inches. Usually smaller. I always introduce them with other types of cichlids into a new setup so their aggro isn't focused on eachother.
 
LOOKING REAL GOOD. Thier patterns look very bold.

Dayum! That's a great tank with some super fish! Do you do anything special with the water?

No, straight out of the tap. Dechlorinated of course.:)

And Thanks!
 
I know with my female she did not show the strongly pronounced white dorsal stripe until she was quite large. It was there but very faint. Give them time. Eventually it will become apparent.

Regarding the body striation on males; I noticed that they were most pronounced between the 6"-12" size but pretty much disapeared after this. It is a reliable indicator of sex but seems to go away as the fish completely matures.
 
fish and tank look great! do you use imperial gallons in missouri?;)

They are both at 11-12 inches and apprx 3 years old. So I figured if one
was going to show female it would have already. I sent a few pics to Vin
Kutty and he agreed that both were males.
He also said as for as them getting along so well that it is not uncommon
that siblings to get along even if both males. But I would think
that would change if I could find a female of the same variant.
