Breeding Sevrum and Red devil?

I dont think they are deformed red devils or midas...then why the only males are sterile? It have to be use two distanct related species to cross to get blood parrots, not two closely related species. However i dont know about the sevrum part but can servrum cross to the red devil?
It was just explained to you by me and another guy that it isn't from the rd/midas but from the synspilum deformity, like this little guy.
Its hard to identify because the defect gene has to be recessive which you wouldn't even know by looking at the fish. You then breed it back to a citrinellus. And even then, its slim pickings for the right look & color...

Yeah and I can understand Nathan43's explaining how the blood parrot were created, however its dont help very much especially these blood parrots are commerical bred and it doesnt explaining how they get beak mouths...I still thinks they have some servrum genetics.
Has anyone actually tried breeding these two? I mean seriously it can't be that difficult. There are only 8billion b.parrots at every fish shop from here to Tibet. Do you think they all come from two or three master breeders in some far eastern fish wonderland? Give it a shot. I bet you could take two or three pairs of midas and synspillum (fertile pairs) breed them and you are sure to get something good. If not breed the offspring with one of the parents that would most likely cause the "retard" deformities. After all look at human inbreeding...nothing ever comes out right. LOL
