Overview:
The Grade A Escondido Red Texas Cichlid is a stunning hybrid known for its intense red to orange body coloration, overlaid with shimmering blue and white pearling. As one of the most sought-after designer cichlids, this Red Texas variant displays the perfect blend of vibrancy, body mass, and aggression that cichlid enthusiasts crave. "Grade A" specimens represent the top tier of coloration and pattern clarity, often developing even more intensity with age and proper care.

Origin:
This fish is a selectively bred hybrid, typically combining the Herichthys cyanoguttatus (Texas Cichlid) with species like Amphilophus or Vieja to produce the vibrant red base and strong pearling. The Escondido strain is known for retaining high color saturation and a well-balanced body shape.

Feeding:
Omnivorous and aggressive feeders, Red Texas Cichlids thrive on a high-protein diet. Feed quality cichlid pellets, krill, bloodworms, chopped shrimp, and vegetable matter (like spirulina flakes or blanched spinach) to enhance both health and color.

Tank Mates:
These fish are territorial and semi-aggressive, best kept either singly, in species-only setups, or with other robust Central/South American cichlids of similar size and temperament. Avoid delicate or passive tank mates.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 76–82°F (24–28°C)
  • pH: 6.8–7.8
  • Hardness: Moderate to Hard
  • Minimum Tank Size: 75+ gallons for a single adult (larger for mixed setups)
  • Provide plenty of rockwork, caves, and open swimming space

Special Notes:

  • Hybrid variability: Colors and patterns intensify with maturity
  • Can be very aggressive during breeding or territory defense
  • May dig or rearrange substrate—best kept with sturdy décor
  • Ideal for experienced cichlid keepers looking for a show-quality centerpiece

The Grade A Escondido Red Texas Cichlid is a true statement fish—combining fiery color, glittering scales, and bold attitude. A prized specimen for serious hobbyists who appreciate both visual impact and personality in their aquarium.

Quality issues
The first one the squeaker did not work, the second one the seam on the wing had a fault so it didn’t not last more than an hour or two before it was taken away.

Tall Tails Fan
My Boston Terrier loves tall Tails toys. However, they do not seem to be lasting as long. However, I continue to purchase because she has to have their chipmunk to go to sleep nightly.

The best dog toys on the market
My dog is relentless when it comes to toys. Unfortunately that means most get destroyed. These toys are incredibly durable you can feel it when you touch them. However if your dog is a shredder I would stick to rubber
