WC Texas ?

[cichliddave]

All,

I have been reading posts, old and new, about Texas cichlids. I have 3 WC Texas cichlids that were caught in New Orleans. I couldn't put them back because they are an invasive species. 2 look the same and the other different. I need to know the difference and sex. Please help with your input. Please see pics below.

Top looks to be male and bottom females no difference except from a weird area so colors and shape will be a bit different.WC is anything that was layed in the wild and grew there.No you can not sell them as WC but they are sooo...

Thanks guys, the canals in New Orleans are full of them. I plan the put them in a 100 gal with a red devil ( midas). Well it was sold to me as a red devil. maybe something will happen.
