the male looks like a zhen zhou (spelling?) to me. not sure about the female. They don't look low grade at all. Just feed them some high quality flowerhorn food and that'll increase their reds and the males kok.
 
REally?

Maybe, If you want to, you can exchange the female for a nicer looking flowerhorn. That will give you nicer baby flowerhorns
