Hey all i just picked up this rhom for a super low price (30$ tax in!!) and hes about 3 inche's BUT the guy who sold him to me was a air head so i cant trust anything he says. Firstly i want to verify that it is indeed a Rhom, and seconly what type does it took like. Thanks allllll!!!!! :)

Ps: sorry for the bad quality pics, and he was sleeping when i took these shot so his eyes are much more red during the day

Need better pictures for ID purpose. at that size it'll be hard to ID IMO.
if it is indeed a rhombues we still cannot be certain which variant it is unless you know the collection point.
 
Kind of small imo yet, but I have a hard time ident young ones like that
 
Ya getting a good picture of him is hard! he wont hold still, what trates will distingush him as a rhom apart from all the ones that look like rohms mabie i can tell in reall life if i new cause hes a reall swimmer!

As for diet, the store had him on feeders ( that stops now that i got him lol) he will be on shrimp and hikary carnivorus pellets like all my other P's are. Iv only had in for a few hours so im not gona feed till tomorrow night
 
yeah hard to tell at so small but i would of bought for 30 bucks to:D
 
Whats the growth rate while there young how long will i have to wait to find out? lol i wana know so bad someones gotta bee able to tell! , not so much where hes from just that he is inded a rhom

Hard to tell with those pics but it looks like a sanchezi to me.

ya sorry about the pics, all i can get for the moment i will get better ones soon tho.

Sanchezi is one of the ones im scared he could halve been misslable. the reasons why i doubt it is because: (for his size) A) his red on hes neck isn't very red, B) it doesnt climb onto his face and chin at all and C) his eyes are getting pretty red for how small he is and all the baby sanchezis i saw had clear eyes and reder faces befor there eyes turned red.

What are ur ressons to belive he is if u dont mind me asking? thanks for the replys also guy's :) more opinions would be great ;)
 
i think its a rhom. doesn't really look like a sanchezi. you will never know what "kind" of rhom it is with out the collection point. a rhom is a rhom is a rhom. just like a black lab is a black lab. some have some different shapes and colors. some are more "diamond" than others that just means more sparkle scales.
