breeding for Red Texas Help. need Info

[2Dth]

I've been trying to get my hands on a SRT but no luck at my LFS. They never even hear of a Red Texas before. So now i'm trying to cross breed to get some of my own.

Which two best fish i could get to cross breed and get some super red texas?

i know i'll need a Green Texas that about it.

these words are not mine they are from a different site


First way to begins is pretty simple.... Get Green TExas x King Kong Parrot and you should get some that you like prefferably female because of higher fertility rate

and then from there you breed her back with father

the best way to approach this is to have alot of male at hand

and test if they are fertile

then rebreed back with the mom for stronger fading / redness genetics

and after that breed the RT that's a male and fertile with his sister

and you should have good stock of breedings going

or you can always breed Green tex With Parrot over and over until you find one that you like

but it's just easier to buy one than make them in my opinion

some of the good rt's out there cost an arm / leg or maybe even your life hahaah

Super Red Texas imho are just Texas that fade into a super red orange color

and thats how you get a srt

or instead of KKP u can use a koky midas or red devil, try n bring in a lil kok gene. most people like SRTs but everyone loves and SRT w/ a head...

Wait what the differences between an Texas and an Green Texas.?

 

[artemis1]

Hericthys carpintis is the green texas cichlid, hericthys cyanoguttatus is the texas cichlid

[repticland]
