I've been trying to acquire these for the past couple of months.....I've gotten out of breeding discus (Just too much work).....I am breeding some awesome African Peacocks now (Much fewer water changes). And I got 5 male and 5 female HRPs delivered yesterday....Hopefully I'll have some fry I can pass along at a great price soon....I just can't believe that none of the fish stores around here (N/E Ohio) has them.
I finally got some Honduran Red Points!

just a few questions for you...where did you get the HRP's from and how big are they? HRP's aren't as easy to sex as convicts are. As juveniles both males and females can have orange/red on the bellies so that isn't a reliable way of sexing them as it is with convicts. don't get me wrong, if you got 10 then you should have no problem getting a pair. 
wow i just looked this up and think i figured out why my convict was so colorful... 
pics soon?
or google images arn't reliable are hrps like convicts or i see 2 different fish on google....

yes HRP's are similar to convicts...in fact there are some that believe the HRP is just a different morph of the convict while others (myself included) believe they are a different species.
since HRP's first started getting imported, farms all over the US started hybridizing them with regular cons because they wanted a fish with the color of the HRP but that would breed as prolifically as the convict.
