The blue one got sold to us as a super green Texas and the redish one was sold to us as a cross red devil cross ? Any ideas

Neither one of those looks to have any Texas blood in them. A Green Texas x red devil would be a variant of red Texas. Red Texas look like this 86728399_1327574667453010_4529875584452395008_o.jpg
A super Green Texas isn't a thing but I assume it would be either a cyanoguttatus, a unfaded red Texas or a Thai GT.

They both look like mix a bunch different viejas, or maybe low quality Kamfas. I'm sorry but either the seller didn't know what they were talking about, or they lied to you. They don't look that bad, they are nice looking fish. If you crossed one of them with a Kamfa Flowerhorn, you could get some nice looking Kamfas. Also as long as you enjoy your fish I wouldn't care too much about what they are.

Oh wow thanks heaps just really would love to know hay I have Ben researching a lot and I thought he might of been a Istlanum cichlid because he looks very the same and the red one might of been a red devil cross a lstalum but not really sure now after what you have said

Actually after looking up some istlanum Cichlids they do look similar, it seems that both of them may have some istlanum in them.
 
Interesting looking fish. They are hybrids for sure. I’m sure we all we could spend days guessing what species these fish could be compiled of but there isn’t much of a way to know unless you get a DNA test.

You'd have to take both of them out of the water and take a hi-def pic of their vents, that'd be really the only way to tell since they are hybrids, however if they aren't fighting I think It's safe to say they are male and female.
