Oh i had no idea there was a difference. He’s definitely grown to be the biggest in my tank but I’m not sure of the gender of him nor the jack dempsey. Jack hasn’t grown much since the current size (i assumed due to the tank it’s in).
Jack looks male, no beard. I can't tell with the green texas though, I have not seen any feature that is highly definitive for sexing. Fin shape, blotch on dorsal fin, shape, deepness of coloration, have all been proposed to be differentiating characteristics, but I have seen enough exceptions in all cases to say none of them are definitive enough to be used. Probably the only way is by venting. :P But I dunno how to do that.
All of the blue and marble fish are mix bred from my bring yellow marble and an electric blue. They somehow came out bright blue and the rest came out all marbled.
This was a 250L tank. Unfortunately it sprung a leak so we had to port all my fish over to a 150L tank. It’s way overstocked right now and we can’t afford to buy a new tank so its a pretty funny scenario to be in.
Nice. That is a jack dempsey cichlid by the way, not a texas cichlid.
Just releasing you can't see Mr Texas in the video. I'll post a photo when I get home :)
Ah
Oh I see him now. In the hole. Actually still not a texas cichlid. XD It's actually a green texas cichlid.

Sorry if you guys happened to see multiple posts - I'm not sure how that happened, maybe Reddit on my phone messed up I'm not sure. Sorry again

Love it. Thinking about getting back into the hobby. What size tank is this?
