and what are you looking for in its eyes to show thats it infertile.

Red eyes = Usually always fertile, Yellow eyes, higher chance of fertility than white eyes. White eyes, very low chance of fertility.

so bright yellow is a half and half chance? water you where actualy the person i wanted to hear from cuz you always seem to get into the fertility threads here so does the puple have anything to do with the fertility cuz i am about to get a bp texas and it has bright yellow eyes with a perfectly circular pupel

Texas are different from flowerhorn, most texas have yellow eyes. The eye color thing only really works in flowerhorn. Nice looking fish too.

[loureyes]

not really every male texas hybrid I have created or purchased has been sterile ie. tex x parrot, tex x flowerhorn and tex x red devil x flowerhorn. I dont know why but so far its been that way even bred them all mulitple times each and every time they shot blanks.

Eye color isn't a good indicator of fertility in itself. Your Shortbody Texas may be, it may not be fertile. It is not a hybrid. It is just line bred. So after countless in-breeding can cause fish to become sterile. Try breeding him, I think he is fertile though.
