Hello, I was at a lfs today and they had a fish that wasnt labeled, it looked like a texas to me at first. It was bluish bodied with red fins, very nice looking fish. I asked the worker at the store and he said it was a Electric Blue Carpintis and it was $29.99 @ about 4-5inches.

First question, is there such a thing as a Electric Blue Carpintis?
Is this a reasonable price for this fish?
How aggressive are these guys and would he work in my tank(see stock below)

He looked like this guy, except more blue in the body and deeper red in fins.
I took pic with my camera phone but of course it looked like crap.

Thanks for the help.

from the picture it looks like it has quite a bit of red in it and is worth the money . buy it. some may tell you not because they dont like hybrids. stunning fish

It doesn't have ebjd genes, just a regular jack dempseyXcarpinte. I've heard of them being called "galaxy dempseys." Sweet looking fish nonetheless.

my lfs has some dempseys that look odd for 14 dollars i thought they might be crossed with texas cichlids
