I just bought 3 texas cichlid from someone,
he told me it was a couple of blue texas cichlid and a male texas cichlid.
Can someone confirm ?

He also sold me a "fastae" redterror, but I think its more like a Mayan. What do you think ?

I think top two are female and last is male. You can tell by a black blotch on the dorsal fin, black spot means female. The mayan/festea is hard to say. Looks like the y in the front strips is there for a festea but hard to tell. Festa have has an eye spot towards the top and mayans is centered yours looks just off center toward the top so kind of hard to tell but I would lean toward festea "true red terror" looks nice either way I love the tail on it.

As for the Y spot, we can't clearly see it on mine, I 100% agree with you for the eye near the tail.
But if we look at the fins, the tail and anal fin, they its looks more like a fastae than a mayan.
And no yellow eye like a mayan.
Almost looks like a blend of both lol !

His is hard to tell. The eye spot looks mayan but doesn't the bars form a y just above the pectoral fins? Actually all the stripes are funky. Hybrid?
