whats the gender of my cichlids?

Question
I have two south African cichlids and one tiger cichlids and I was wondering what gender they were? And if my tiger was of opposite gender would he/she breed with my other two Oscars?

Answer
Hi Mandy,
 Hmm... are you sure that they are South African?  That seems very unlikely.  

 By "tiger cichlid" do you mean "tiger oscar"?  Those come from South America.  There is no way to tell the sex of an oscar; the males and females look identical.  

 Tiger oscars are just a color variety of regular oscars so yes, a tiger oscar can breed with a regular oscar.
