If they have good color they should have a little blue tint in their fins. Females are much smaller and have orange on their belly.

i like the color on him. the camera pic doesnt do him justice. ht has these nice blue, cream, and black thing going on. and to think he has been at the lfs for about 3 weeks!
One is a more an orange color over all...it is also the smaller of the group.
and when yall say an orange tint. do you mean just ever so slightly noticeable or should it just be blatantly obvious?
Hi, they could be juvenile Texas cichlids, as they look almost the same as mine but it is hard to tell by not seeing them in the flesh and they are often confused with the JD, as look amazingly similar. Normally, the males will colour up more than the females and both of them will have a black underbelly when ready to mate. The mouth locking is just a territorial thing between 2 of the same sex, once you've established a pair then make sure you move the other one out if you want fry to survive and add some other fast swimming fish like tin foil barbs. The mother tends to be more aggressive and will give her something to focus on while the male looks after the kids.Water changes tend to make these fish horny so don't be surprised at how quickly they get on with it! lol.
It should be pretty obvious. Males won't have the orange on their belly at all.
If I were you, I'd pick two and return the rest. If you're breeding them, then you'll have plenty of them soon enough.
what are you planning on doing with the fry?
