looks like some kind of texas cross but i cant say for sure
 
looks like my texas terror.
carpinte x festae.
 
guess ill heve to let the little guy grow a bit lol the wierd thing is i bought it from a shop that does not sell hybrids and only buys stuff from reputable wholesalers.
although saying that is was the only one of its kind in the tank.

did all the texas's have the red base colour or just this one?
if it was just this one, it's probably just a regular carpinte and turned out a little different then the rest of the fry.
he's like the ugly duckling, but unique.
 
he was not in the texas tank at all he was in with sometrhing else completly different jags or something i think.ive never seen any baby tex with any red in them at all and i have bred 3 batches of fry in the past, which makes me doudt its pure tex. definately at least half though lol
 
i have a friend from down the block with a red texas, it's a hybrid but it's a red texas.
heres some pictures i took for him.
yours looks similar.
