Lol good luck finding something that cheap in the US.
Simply put if you are ordering Flowerhorn or Red Texas go through the correct vendors. Ask anyone here and they can tell you where to buy quality fish at reasonable prices.

they only had a picture of an adult red texas. I saw these a while ago. They still have the photo in the thumbnail that they forgot to remove. http://bluegrassaquatics.com/cichlid-texas-red-regular.html The picture could be from their breeders stock or just a random photo, but it doesn't mean that's what they sold you. It could be Herichthys cyanoguttatus, which is the true "Texas Cichlid"...RED TEXAS are bred between any herichthys and kkp, mammon, or even bp to get the "Red"...IF they fade.
I kinda think it looks like a herichthys because of the pearling...The tail, not the fin, looks long like herichthys also. You really won't know if it's a red texas until it fades, but sometimes they don't fade. The way to tell is the pearling is small consistent dots throughout the fish. Other Herichthys, specifically carpintis have blotchy pearls with random sizes and usually have worming in the face, the cyno does not, it's consistent dots.
I think half of the peoples RT are not what they claim, but rather what they bought named "Red Texas"

With flowerhorns and red Texas you might want to see the actual fish or the mother and father of the fries because they are not like other fish they are a man made fish it's really hard to know what you are actually buying with out the real picture of the fish
If I paid that much money for your 2 "red Texas" I'd be upset too

Obviously the person at BlueGrass doesn't have the slightest clue what he is talking about.
And most likely this is where your "red texas" (cough-cough) originated from.
