I would say they're some sort of carpintis. Possibly a hybrid because one of them has a very long dorsal and anal fin similar to a red texas or flowerhorn. They appear to be 2 females because they have a black mark in their dorsal.

Two females??

All i needed

They seem to have hybrid shape unlike most carpintis I've seen. Best guess is two females.

If they are hybrids, the black markings don't mean anything. I had a male blood parrot x carpintis with black markings. Take them out and vent them to be sure.

They were passed on to me as pure......

Can ayome remind me of the venting process ans results?

Imdo not have to squeeze the fish, do i?

They are not hybrids ! These are pure escondido or vontehillo without a doubt, black spot on the dorsal means nothing for carpintis, I have 3 males and 2 females (all adults) and they all have the black spot on the dorsal, that's an accurate way to sex texas cichlids but not these, as far as them being a pair you would have to vent them to be sure.

Not this, they're Escondido. Vontehillo has a smaller squiggle pattern than escondido, and is usually a deeper blue in color as opposed to the light blue of escondido

They were passed on to me as Escondidos, in fact.

I am not an experienced venter. Do i have to squeeze the fish?

You don't have to squeeze them. As long as they're at least 4" you shouldn't have a problem venting them. I'm a total noob at venting and I got all mine right the first time I tried. I have a thread with some pics if you want some for reference.
