looks like a longear sunfish
Texas Festae. I bet someone tried to make Red texas thinking the Festae is the red. and ended up nicely with this one.
I would imagine that it is. I successfully crossed an umbee with a loiselle so both species can hybridize, it just won't be easy to achieve. To my knowledge that is the only time an umbee had been crossed and documented.I have a male Festea and a female Umbee, just wondering if that cross would be possible
They are only 1" so not a lot to look at yet.@trace, got any pictures?
