Not on here much any more, picked up a baby SB Red Texas though at the LFS which was kind of odd but a good surprise. Anyway he is showing lots of Red already on his base colour and nice pearling, but its impossible to get a good pic he is too active and too small --so fingers crossed he (or she) turns out real nice. Only fish I have for now. Here he is at .75 inch


Cheers

Nice! I always wanted a short body. Hard to find. How much you get yours for?
 
Here you go...about doubled in size...I believe its a male. Hasn't faded yet though and less, red? unless you look real close between his pearls. If he doesn't fade though he has a greater chance at being fertile. I will most likely be getting my old female back and will try to breed when he's of age to improve on pearls.

Some quick pics of the "super pearl" female in a friends community tank.

I can get one small though guys asking 60 bucks for two though. How much did your red Texas sb cost? The seller wants 60 for a sb green Texas
