That's why I don't buy fish online unless the seller had high reputations and well known, I always asked them to sent me a picture of the actual fish for sale/listed in its own tank before I order...no picture or no reply from seller = no deal, no order from me.

It is a red Texas but not worth what you paid. Still if you like it grow it out and see how it turns out. Doesn't seem to have many pearls though

If it doesn't look good now it won't later on. It's already mid fade the pearls would've showed up by now. I had 4 red Texas I sold for 60$. They had pearls but one faded and the others didn't but we're pretty pearly.

Did they should you pictures before you bought them if so post them up.
