Red Texas pickup

[tooth517]

I just picked this up today. New to rt's and was wondering if this one is decent quality and if there are any signs to determine sex. The vent was too small to determine that way. I'm hoping for a female to pair with a male rd flowerhorn I already have.

Very nice RT! Also its most likely a female it has a black dorsal spot.

Exactly what I wanted to hear!! I saw the spot, but wasn't sure if that applied to rt's as well.

Paid $22 for it at Petsmart.

She jumped out of the tank twice already. After the first time I covered the gap at the filter, the second time I forgot to cover it after a water change. Luckily I found her just in time!

any sign of darkness or fading?

She's pretty lots of.Nice.pearls
Hopefully she fades for you

No darkness yet. She is about 3 1/2". Starting to see some red underneath the pearls. I'd post a pic but on my phone it is very frustrating.

Why darkness?
