Short body Texas sexing?

[anzo1993]

Cute little fatty.
Got any plans on line breeding these? I am currently outcrossing sb escondido to regular Vontehillo (if the male ever decides he's ready).

so far not sure what the plan is tbh, for now just growing him up with plans to add him to another cichlid tank when larger, considering trying to breed him or her to a Thai silk flowerhorn

Glad you got an sb out of the few you were able to grow. Carpintis that fit in 30 gallon tanks should be a pet store staple, yet this sb morph is much harder to find now compared to a decade ago.
Cool project, please update once that little sb gets growing.

Just wanted to post a pic of one of the other half shortbody fry, the colors are very nice so far

Just an update, I’ve been growing out the shortbody Texas fry from my pair and he’s about 1.5 inches and getting pretty chunky

Just an update I’m pretty sure he’s a male beefing up pretty well

Just an update he’s about 4.5 inches and beefing up everyday he’s a little over a year old now and very feisty, he lives with some blood parrots and a female convict
