HRP's look like Convicts in breeding dress. When you seperate them for a while and they stop spawning, they look like an entirely different fish. Their bars turn into a couple spots on their sides while the males tail, anal and dorsal fin become real red. He will also get a lot of blue around the gills and underbelly at times as well.
hey can anyone give me a hand i have a 90 gallon tank with a pleco 2 mollies 2 swordtails 2 big ghost glass catfish and a bichir but i was wondering if i could keep cichlids with my fish?
@jvucket there are some smaller, more peaceful cichlids that would probably do ok. I only recommend smaller because predation is an important consideration, not just aggression. I really like the web site badmanstropicalfish as a resource that might give you a few ideas that you might not have known about before, or if you have a local aquarium store, since they specialize in fish they are usually more knowledgeable and will be better able to give you specific recommendations.
WOW!! Those are the first "Red Points" that actually look different than regular convicts! Everyone thinks their convicts are Red Points but they are mix between Pink and Black Convicts!
I'd disagree about it being less aggressive, my 1 and a half inch honduran red point female bullied 3 2 inch male convicts until she paired up and spawned with one of them, had to take the other 2 males out. In fact she's still the aggressor in the family.

yes, it is less aggressive, though not by much.
cryptoheros sp. honduran redpoint are slightly smaller and leaner than the convict, and have blue colouration

how can you tell if it is a honduran red point and a convict?

Is it true this species is smaller and less aggressive than the Cryptoheros Nigrofasciatus you normally see?
