the best way to know a female texas is to buy one that laid eggs bro
 , and buy the female from a honest saler , or get it by seying her lay eggs in a vedio or some pictures .. thats the best way to buy a female teas .. good luck .. -------------------- ( Life is a Chain of Moments of Enjoyment , Not Only About Survival )

When I choose a female texas....I go for the black dot on the dorsal fin and square (shorter body). Also, observe how it behave (sometime helps).
Try Capital Aquarium, saw a few there. Good luck on finding one... --------------------   |

From my personal experince the black dot on the top dorsal fin works really well for me when trying to spot a female texas cichlid. However, I would like to add that this method, at least for me,works more accurretly with fishes that are 3 inches. Just my personal opinion though.
