So i was at my lfs a few weeks ago and was lookin thru the tanks and noticed some "blue convicts" as they wur labeled, and the guy said they wur a hybrid cross between a convict and a texas and im not really into hybrids generally, but i went today and decided to take a closer look at em (to see if they turned into anything interesting) and upon further examination they turned out to be honduran red points, so i decided id buy a few of em since they r kinda hard to get ahold of around here. I paid $3.99 a piece and was wondering how much they generally go for?
Honduran Red Points

you sure they're honduran red points? a lot of places sell "blue convicts" that most of the time turn out to be hybrids of HRP x con. If the store says they're hybrids, then they're probably hybrids. 
Here is my fish I bought as an "Electric Blue Convict". Probably a HRP x Convict cross.
She is a great fish though and I like her and she is even bluer in person. She breeds with my female Centrachus about every week.
They take turnslaying eggs.

my camera isnt quite workin rite now, but im pretty sure they r hrp's the female has the blue coloration and the male has his blue along with the red on the tail so im pretty sure they r hrp's. but ill tryn get some pics up for u guys to see wat u think.
I got about 80 convicts at about an inch long for 10 dollars at an LFS awhile back... fed most of them off to my bigger cichlids... but I kept 11 as breeders to continue supplying more food. A friend of mine suggested there may be some honduran red points mixed in, and now that i read about them and see these pictures, I think they are? They look like cool fish anyways.
Are they currently captive bred anywhere? Or are they just random occurances? Two of the fish I have are DRASTICALLY different looking than the convicts they are with, body shape is a little different, and colour is totally different, they look almost identical in colour to a red-point (although top viewing as they are in a big rubbermaid is not the best to tell).
