Few New Fish Can You Help Me With Some Id's / Sexing

[GShorty1981]

I have recentley got myself 3 Severums and a Blue Acara...

...As far as i was aware the Severums were

Male Gold Efaciatus
Female Red Spotted Efaciatus
Male Green Efaciatus

and the Blue Acara was a standard Pulcher..

However having been looking at them for a while, i'm changing my mind.

It looks to me like i have 2 red spotted sevs (male and female) and i was right on the green.

The larger 'gold/red spotted' Sev also has red eyes...which my old Gold Sev didnt have.

The Blue Acara looks to me like it could be a Andinoacara Sp. Gold Saum (i hope it is not)...

Opinions guys?

Fish 1. The 4" Gold Sev...i think this is Male

Fish 2. The 2.5" Red Spotted Sev...I think this is Female

Fish 3. the 2.5" Green Sev...i think this guy is male

Mixed pictures of the 3 Sevs together

Fish 4. the 2.5" Blue Acara...possibly a Green Terror

Thanks Nelly, any idea on the id's? my new Pulcher looks alot like the Gold Saums i used to have

The blue acara is a female that I know.

As far as the severums looks like to red spots and one green. Both red spots look to be male the green Im not sure.

Ah cool so its definitely a Blue Acara and not a Green Terror...phew.

The green Sev and the bigger Gold/Red Spot both have the Male snake markings but the little red spot doesent...thats why i thought she was female, plus they both have extended fins and both seem to vie for the small red spots attention

they looked like they both had the face marks in the photo. Don't go by fins the cheek marks are a sure sign. Blue acaras can look like the green terror but your is a BA. They are nice fish I have 2 they were a breeding pair but I had to split them up I like them better single.

I see what you mean, cos all three of them have it to a degree, the only difference is the smaller red Spots facial markings look more 'artificial' like its a extension of the red spot pattern, whereas the bigger ones look separate.

based on the pics i would say the BA is male, but still unsure. you can tell its not a gold saum because the tail is grey all the way to the edge

I would say the larger red spot is male, however, I wouldnt like to say on the smaller two, they are still small to sex IMO.
