HRP also known as the Blue Convict are very similar to the regular con. Those look like hybrids because they have broken stripes.
hybrid or full HRP

HRP's should not be known as blue convicts.
They were named "Honuras Red Point" specifically to avoid the confusion of being associated with C. nigrofasciatus. Until they are properly assigned a species name or assigned to an existing species I would not try to perpetuate the name of "Blue Convict" for HRP's.

)I've been wondering about this guy's HRPs too as they don't look blue enough. Got close to bidding a couple of times but backed out at the last minute. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks they don't look right. Here in the UK there aren't many HRPs in stores to compare them to!
Alright. I took some pics of what I consider a bad pair of HRP in one of my tanks. this pair is going into a cull. I have other from the sme spawn that are going with it.
They don't breed true to color or body shape. They look like Blue Colored Cons. The male is actually a pretty fish, but I won't keep an accidental hybrid. I've already called the pet store and let them know my opinion on these fish they are selling.
They look similar to the fish the guy is offering for bid.

They are supposed HRP? Picked up as 1/2 fish, some come close to looking like HRP but most look con. The guy sold them as HRP. they are at best a weak cross. Some in the tank have more blue or a different mouth shape. They were culled last night.
Hi the fish are from a guy in the USA. All the fish have a quite a bit of blue on them, as for photos my fish house dose not make it easy for me to take lots of good photos of my fish, when I go anywhere neer the tank thy think its feeding time and then go shooting off round the tank. I will try to get some more pics for you. this is his responce also he said he was going to get some pics, hopefully full hrp
