Venting my parrots pics

[Argentum]

Hello everyone!

I bought new 3 parrot cichlids and wanted to identify their gender. Please help me with it.

The first two pictures are for the same fish "BP1" third picture for BP2 and fourth for BP3

BP1



BP1 again



BP2



BP3



Please help identify the gender of each. and what species could cross breed with blood parrots ? can they breed with male lake malawi?

i dont know how to identify the gender, but they can surely breed with a flowerhorn and probably red devils. lake malawi? maybe not, nver kept this fish before. good luck .

I'm horrible at this method of sexing. Much easier for me to make an accurate guess when I see a profile shot of the fish with a close up of the vent. However I can assure you Africans can not produce fry with south/central American cichlids. Have you read any of the sticky's for the hybrid section of the forum? If not, you may want to take a closer look at them.
