I wanted to post some pics of my texas hybrid and was wondering if anyone had any idea on what it could be crossed with and if anyone could help me sex it. I think it is probably a male, well i'm hoping its a male, it appears to be forming a slight hump on its head and is growing really fast I have only had it for about 6 months and I got it at about 2.5 inches and its probably around 5-6 inches, it is a voracious eater and is super mean.

The pearls look great! It does look vieja cross or parrot cross. I got two texas cross devils that would match it. looks male too
 
It has some red tint in its fins so maybe its part devil I dont know. I'm hoping its a male, the 75 gallon its in is going to be all for this fish so I hope it becomes the showpiece I have always wanted. I'll include afew more pics I have of it.

I got a FH mixed with texas, looks every similar to yours. The only thing is that it has a deformed dorsal fin (the whole batch did, so I only kept one).
