Price and sex this Fish for me

[Fishnthehood]

Stumbled on this beauty at a local LFS. The fish was priced at 40 bucks wondering what you guys thought? Whether or not this was a good buy. I'm also hoping for some help on the sex of the fish. I was hoping to pair it with my Texas/Hybred the fourth picture down.

Not sure on sex. Maybe both are males. But Im sure they arent worth any much money. $20 maX each. sorry but that's for real.

Lots of pearls but other than that nothing special. How big is it?

Thanks ..... The fish in the first 3 pictures is on sale at a LFS. The bottom fish is mine and I bought him for less then 5 bucks when he was about a inch. I was hoping either was a female but I thought 40 bucks was a little steep for the fish at the store.

Has paired up with a smaller flowerhorn and it's moving rocks but have not spawned yet.
