Can someone help me determine the sex of these fish?
Theyre a Gold Severum, A Salvini Cichlid, and a Green Terror... I'm looking to pair them...

The Severum looks like a female to me. I used to have a mature, often spawning, pair about 10 years ago.

No, I have no opinion nor experience with the others. That is one feisty tank you've got going there!

You would think, but they are surprisingly peaceful towards eachother. We'll see how that changes when the convict cichlid's start to lay eggs ;P

From my experience with the Salvini its kinda hard to tell till the males start to mature but by looking and guessing I would say male as well as for the green terror. again no guarantee just opinion. I* tried to sex my Salvini for months then he matured and I new by coloring.

I agree on the opinion of the two being males. They both have very obvious pointed fins, which is usually a pretty good sign to tell, but since i don't have females to compare them to, its a little more difficult :P
