It actually looks like an HRPxFlowerhorn or Conxflowerhorn judging by the red eyes and pearls. :irked:
 
hmm could be ,but thats a little unlikley due to size differnce in between FH and con or FH and HRP
 
i agree fishbreeder thats a convict x HRP convict female and male hrp because body shape leans to the hrp side and a males genetics are stronger then a females. i think your right if you get this project just right you will get fire tailed convict im trying a Archocentrus nanoluteus X Archocentrus sp. "Honduran Red Point"

Question then, should they call a Red Texas a new name since its not a pure texas?

Its red, it doesn't resemble a texas whatsoever. If it actually looked like a texas it would be a different story. If you cross two fish that look the same then people are going to think they are one or the other. Considering theres no such thing as a red texas and there are convicts with red tails already he should not be calling them this, this just sounds like a variant of convicts.

The fish I bought as a pure convict is obviously a hybrid because of irrisponsible hobbyists like this kid calling them "flame tail convicts" instead of just calling them what they are, convict and honduran red point hybrids.

I'm not bashing this thread or anything, I'm just saying.. DON'T SELL THEM AS CONVICTS, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT. Its not that complex..
 
im not selling them as flame tail cons..............unless i see them in stores ,there more of a personal prodject of mine
