Need help, Jag sex and RD/Midas id

[haluk]

I just got these today. Both are about 6".
Need your opinions about the sex of the jag and the other one which was labeled as Midas at the lfs but I think its a RD.
Thanks.

Not sure but that devil is HOT!

I will guess male jag, female red devil.

 

[BrtnBoy449]

id say both males

 

[HerCrenVie]

The Jag is definitely male. Your "Midas" is very likely a hybrid between Citrinellus (Midas) and Labiatus (RD).

Thanks. There were about 10-12 of them in the same tank, it was hard to decide.

The red evil is a Midas Cichlid there just two different names and there deferently both males.

actually they are not the same
they just look the same, they have two different scientific names

Red Devil: Amphilophus labiatus

Midas: Amphilophus citrinellus

and if you compare a pure bred midas compared to a pure bred red devil you can see a difference in their mouths: red devils have a longer, more pointed mouth and midas's mouths are shorter and a little more rounded mouth
