Does anyone keep these??

I was wondering if anyone has any input on Red Texas Cichlids. Im in love with my Paratilapia Polleni's and these guys look similar, except there red. Thats awesome.

Any info would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks!

that pic is of a Super red texas
they are equivalent to masterpiece FHs(cost wise)
and very rare to see in the hobby
i have a normal red texas (but mine was a rescue, it was kept in real bad conditions didn't have a tail and might have also been stunted , but now he has grown kind of an inch or 2)
they are just like the texas (fish keeping sense )
here are a few pics of mine

Thanks for the input, headbanger, yours has pretty wicked eyes but sucks about the tail.

yeah sucks about the tail
but his colors and his head popping up makes up for it

you should be able to find one easy as there are some great breeders out there in the US
may be you can PM "danz" or "fishfreak317 " they might be able to point you in the right direction
