Would like some opinions here, please... beautiful fish...

I've been keeping CA cichs for many years and have never seen this before. Has anyone here seen one of these? Hard to believe it's a new "species"... maybe line-bred or some other kind of Frankenfish. Still, if anyone knows where they can be had cheap, start talking! lol They are calling it a Red Texas Cichlid. With the advent recently of the flowerhorns, I'm wondering if this is another "marketing fish". BTW, this pic is posted on AquaBid, so it won't last forever.

If it was a natural species I think it would be well known by now. I mean, how could it be kept a secret with colors like that? It's either frankenfish or injected. It's still pretty though.

It is a hybrid. Parentage is unknown right now. Many people have guessed Red Devil/Texas.
