Local fish store is selling super red texas about 4-5 inches but they are all white will they stay that color or change as they age?

Pic? If they’re 4-5” they should have some color or at least patterns

I didn’t take one unfortunately I’ll take one next time I’m up there

How much are they if they aren’t expensive and you have extra room I’d say go for it and if it don’t have too good of colors try breeding with another cichlid if possible

I’m sure that when they grow a bit they’d get at least a pale red or orange color but you never know. It’s all in the genes. You can take a chance and with a bit of luck and good care it’ll grow to a beauty or be a total failure

Very true if I did try to cross breed them do you have any recommendations?
