Found at local pet store need I.D.

Hello, I was walking around my local pet store when I stumbled upon this fish that kind of looked like a red texas blood parrot type fish (not marked on tank) of about 5-6 inches and pretty chunky possibly a short body not sure, anyways I decided to buy and put in my 90 gallon, I was wondering if anyone has ever seen one before. Thanks

My initial thoughts were a female Midas cichlid, but I'm really not sure. Haven't seen one with those kinds of markings on the fins before. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will be able to give you a definitive answer soon!

My first thought is a really faded red Texas.

RT F1 males are not fertile. You'll be lucky if it's a female. Here is an example of the next steps. See also here

I guess I’ll have to wait and see or attempt venting but I don’t wanna add too much stress for now

Yeah just your ordinary texas cross with a parrot. So you can say first gen rt or original. I've breed so many lines that I know when I see one.
