the salvini is female. Not sure about the texas, it looks male though.

I am all-but-certain (99%) that the salvini is female

I think the texas is female also, but harder to tell . . . there appears to be a "blotch" on the dorsal fin, which some say indicates female . . . it also looks a lot like my own Texas (which I think is female) . . .

texas is a male, an d salvini is a female
