identify my hrp's

The one is a HRP. When mine is in breeding dress he'd easily be mistaken for a Convict. As for the other 2, not sure what they are, but they're not HRPs.

Here is a pic of mine when he's not in breeding dress

Does the seller have a source of the fish that he can trace back to wild fish? Otherwise, identification is dubious...

I agree, i deff. see a male , and a female.whether they are HRP or convicts is anyones guess without known lineage. id get them without a doubt because they are really nice fish either way. The pictures posted were helpful, but not all HRP look like the ones posted. see if you can find out their background.

That doesnt look like an HRP ive ever owned or seen. It looks like a con x sajica hybrid.

The fish pictured above is the Rio Monga race, the pics for this thread are the Rio Danli race, both are Amitilantia siquia "Honduran Red Point" but from different collection locals. Ken

Ken...here are some 'Rio Monga' from Jeff that he currently has for sale now, only these were purchased in December.

Amatitlania sp. ‘Honduran red point’ F1 ‘Rio Monga’ juveniles-brightly colored red fins/blue body

They look nothing like the fish pictured above that you quoted as 'Rio Monga'. So which is which and who, if anyone, is incorrectly calling one the other? Or are there even variants within locales?

Both pics look like same species to me. Yours just has a mate present and is showing the stripes more.

The one that isnt mine with orange is more high bodied and is mostly grey. Mine, even without a mate, dont look any different than the picture I posted. I have 3 in another tank of the same family and they look the same as the pair.

and heres yet another pair from a different vendor. 'Rio Danli' Leucistic male and 'Rio Danli' female.

He stripes up when he's about to breed or angered. I'm pretty sure he is a pure HRP, I've seen the HRP x Convict crosses on youtube called "respectocons" and he looks nothing like them. I was told by the LFS I got it at, that it was a HRP. He looked nothing like the Convicts he was in with, he had the reds and blues showing, but his body was a darker color at the LFS, seemed purple with the red and blue.
