This is my pride and joy. :P I was wondering If anyone could point me in the direction of what this particular fish will look like when grown? I understand that there are a lot of variations to the texas cichlid. I did not see the parents of this one so I am curious to know. I feed the Cichlid gold, along with various other feeds. I'm also wondering why the darker coloration on the head. I know I had it with a larger blood parrot that was displaying a breeding tube, idk if that is male or female, but the texas' nderside turned blackish and its colors got more brilliant. Is it too young to sex? I'd like a male! Thanks for any input ;)

if you got him from a store its probably red texas..but chances are it will look pretty much like it is now.
I saw a Red Texas at one of my LFS last week, for the first time.
It was 5-6", they wanted $150. for it. Seems like a lot of money.
It looked just like this one.
