Hello all! So I took my Texas to a Buddy to lesson the stress in my tank and create more room..it waswanting to breed with my flflower horn, but after almost two months nothing was happen except a whole lot of stress for all in the tank. My buddy took it and it bread with his blood parrot..wehave fry now. Anybody know what they will turn out to be/look like, or is it pretty much a wait and see game?????
Blood parrot/Texas offspring..

It could be the result of crossing with a Flowerhorn, yes, if the Flowerhorn is a fader.
A Red Texas simply is a hybrid (or descendant thereof) of a Texas/Green Texas with any cichlid that results in a red coloration, pearlings and the body shape of a Texas/Green Texas.
The most common way to achieve this is to breed a Texas or Green Texas with a fader (Midas, Fader Flowerhorn, BP, etc.).
People haven't really tried other methods that may work. Such as breeding a Texas/Green Texas with a Red Bay Snook for example.

The first photo below is of a male (fertile) offspring of a male supergreen texas and a blood parrot female pairing at 6 months of age. His background colour is somewhat better than the photo but he is still not as colourful as either parent. His batch were earlier faders than some of my other crosses.
The second photo is a slightly younger male hybrid (unproven fertility), SGT dad but a flower horn mum, a later fading cross but more potential in eventual colour and form than the parrot/texas F1's. He and his siblings have been more agg
ressive and faster growers than the blood parrot crosses. Have photos of the parents if anyone is interested.
