I have a feeling that even if you found a fertile SRT male, this combo still wouldn't produce faders, just offspring carrying the fader gene. Because the female texas won't have the gene only the male. You still only have half the genetics needed. You would still have to breed one of the female offspring back to the father to produce fading SRTs.

Maybe a fertile SRT male with a KKP might do the trick in one cycle, but you still need to find a fertile male. I think the fertile male is the key, and if that is true, then they are probly extremely difficult to make.

Also, take in mind that alot of SRT are not just infused KKP and Tex, but vieja genes also, then back to the original cross. Some RTs faded you can see the influence heavy. One of the more famous SRT have vieja fins. Im on my way through that now. It has taken 2 years and not one fader yet. But great body and wrapped fins.
