No such species as a red texas, those are hybrids

I believe mine is a Red.

Nope not a Red texas. He is a Carpintis but with red because he's a male. Females don't get much red in the fins at all.

Could be that it hasn't peeled yet?

its a flowerhorn. its a mix of a bunch of fish. people commonly mix texas' to them for the pearls in its pattern. they use texas cichlids to get those pearls on some hybrids. type in bonsai red texas in the search and click on neoprodigys i.d. thats another example of a fish that has texas in it to make the pattern nicer.

is there any way to determine the difference between the 3???

Yes In my opinion the best way is to call them by their names instead of what the general public decides to call them.

Texas is another one of the most confusing names to call any of them As any hobbiests next question is going to be "WHICH ONE"

So getting more aquainted with the "scientific names" Is an excellent idea It will also provide you with more complete and quality info during research.

This is strictly my opinion.
