help prove my friend wrong.

[Jory]

so my friend works at petsmart and somebody brought him in this little guy. he texted me this picture while i was at work asking me if it was a red terror(festae), i said no. to further prove my opinion i told him festaes dont have black fins or red eyes.

apparently i need other opinions, cuz he wont believe me.

i think its a FH or at least crossed with trimac, opinions?

if theres even a chance, why risk it at petsmart?!?!?!?!?!?
go get it!!lol
appears to be a hybrid, but im not an expert, and the pics crappy.

Not the greatest pic, but I would agree with you that it is not.

hes getting it, and if it beats up his fish i will take it. its free for him so why not.

not a festae at all. Not even close.

It's a barred midas.

It's a barred midas.

ive never seen a barred midas with red eyes, especially that vibrant. it seems far too red.

I have honestly never seen a fish that has red eyes and its not a FH... although.. Asian Arowanas have red eyes..

 

[fishfreak317]

well we can say that it's defiantly NOT a festae.

How big is the fish? Can you get another picture? Lots of barred midas get dark red eyes.
