Honestly... If I get any more texas cichlids, they will be Escondido. I will be splitting my carpintis pair for testing. But I really like Escondido pearls...
Then get it! Order a nice group from Rapps he got them.
Some body need to start breeding these pure strains for LFS. Let it be you.
When was the last time you saw an escondido Carpinti at the lfs?
But I did brought one into A+ Tropical lfs couple years ago. So U can't go assuming fishes at the lfs aren't pure like an idiot all the time.
You should breed for your lfs
