Yes they are usually more timid then convicts. I would say they are about 50-75% of the aggression of convicts on on average. Should do great with your heterospila. They make good dithers to spread aggression of larger cichlids aswell.
I'm aware they're descended from the same fish, but each bloodline from each of you guys has VERY small differences, in my opinion.Shane, you know that Rustys, Joes and mine are the same fish right..
There are no pure platinum HRPs on the market anymore, all will grow big and be as aggressive as domestic convicts. The last ones were sold by TUIC, and I haven't seen them for sale since around 2019. I believe most of the ones on the market today are honduran red points bred to pink convicts, because the "pink" gene in normal convicts is the same gene that makes HRPs platinum, and can be bred into HRPs to produce "platinum" fish. Ken Davis claims his are pure, but they are too big and bulky for me to believe him. I however, have a group I won at an auction from Rusty Wessel at his house last year, so pure platinums will be back on the market very soon
I would be happy to sell you some of my pure honduran red points, though I will say the biggest are only around an inch currently.
wow your wetspot pair looks phenomenal compared to the one I received from them. here's my line of hrp
Where'd you get your line? The wetspot male isn't mine, and is technically the nephew of my female. I also lost that female two years ago, but got more of that line last week.
