Only thing that I am afraid that if i breed red texas using green texas and a king kong parrot, the red texas will turn out to be parrot mouth or parrot head, is this possible? or they will be normal like the result of green texas+red devil?
By the way, kk parrot will bred redier texas than blood or regular parrots right?

nah man they dont get the parrot mouth or shape
thats good to hear, i can wait to sell my wolf fish and breed red texas myself.
 
Your not going to red texas that way. These guy in Asia have it down to a science. 1 out of every 1000 or so are red. the rest are sold as culls, or cheap red texas that never turn red
 
let me help, some fry are going to have the wrong body shape, cull these, some fry are not going to peel, cull these, some fry and not going to be pearly, cull these. the ones you have left that are peeled, pearly, good body are your red texas. haha good luck

thanks mike. but will at least 1 fry be redish? i just came from local pet store, employees said thet could not determine male/female green texas or kk parrot. male green texas has a black thing in its grill like convicts. And i could not see blunt or pointy tube either.
 
you may not get any fully peeled red ones. what you do is take the best ones and breed the males back to parrot. and take the best females back to texas. then breed the offspring of these two together. then you should have something
