So I picked this little guy up at a local fish store yesterday for $4.98. Somebody had brought him and another smaller one in so I picked him up because his blue color was absolutely stunning. It's not so great in the pics because he's in a pretty crude quarantine, but they are pretty clear. Anyways, I think he's at least part Hericthys carpintis.

Red Texas imo

I see what you mean, but he said it was stressed, it probably darkened up..

Could you post some more pics?

Carpintis IMO.

He is still pretty faded out. Colors look the same. He is in a bare bottom 20 gallon with only a few rocks, a cave, and some water hyacinth at the top overall. At least he has his giant danio buddy though...
