Heres a couple pics of 1 of my 3.5'' H. Carpintis. Are these breeding colors?? Its sort of paired with my biggest T. Maculipinnis, busy chasing other fish around when it gets a chance. This is my 1st time raising escondidos so I thought Id ask you all....

looks like it. Are all 3 Escondidos you got from Jeff's look like these? these are the nicest wormy pearls i've seen! but the pictures he posted are the lowest quality within his tank!
 
got one from rapps myself and it is a great looking fish colors very similar to these

looks like a female in breeding dress to me....
Right on... Thanks man!! Im not really down with her choice of partner though. I dont think that it could do the deed with a T Maculipinnis though....

this one looks male. previous one looks female.
 
Looks nice, how can you tell male from female, especially at that size?
 
Seeing the pearls on yours makes me want to just sell my 8 inch escon pair. THe pearls on your is insane!

I noticed that escons may get into breeding colors once in a while, but they arent or wont breed.

Im really looking forward to seeing this trio as grown ups. Hopefully this girl comes out of it soon because she is really being a b!tch to all her tankmates....
