| That was the only one in the tank. I am keeping him by his self so that there is no damage to those fins. I havent seen any bars yet but he is still small. |

| That fish you have is an HRP, (Honduran Red Point) it is related to the convict. There are several fish out there that are now Blue Convict Hybrids. They look like the black barred Convict but with a faint blue look. Yours is a sail fin HRP. I have 2 females just like that, and 2 females and 2 males are normal HRP's. I also have a Lusistic HRP, which is white with a red tint to her fins. Her are a couple pics of mine. .[img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] I noticed that you posted this back in June. How is the fish doing today? |
