ozmo Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 This fish is absolutely 100% not an Escondido (SGT). The first photo looks like a regular Texas but the second photo is leaning way over to the hybrid side. Besides the overall shape I've never seen finage like that on any Texas. To give you an idea of what a true Escondido looks like... below is one of my females. You can clearly see the worming on the cheeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
