Hello,

I have three fish (two convict cichlids and one green terror). However, I don't know if they are male or female. I was hoping someone could help me identify them! I attached one photo of each.

female convicts because of the orange belly.

Green terror can be either a male or female. I'm leaning more towards male because there is no green "bearding/smearing" from the lower jaw to gill line.

Green terror looks like female..fins..body lack of color and bearding..she seems underweight

I once brought seven young convicts from a lfs at a young age. Some with orange bellys some not. A few weeks later after bringing them home i was suprised to see they all showed orange bellys. 7/7 females, what are the odds? Anyway fast forward a few months i get back from a 3 week holiday to find a pair had bred! And dad lost his orange belly..
I did notice some of the fish were growing much faster than the others. One of which ending up being dad to the fry. I guess can never be sure of Convicts genders.
