Consideration's when choosing short body fish.

What happened to your kilin?

Now I'm not saying its worth $150 or so, but compared to what you might be able to get with that you could probably find a better deal. If hes like your oldest or something I would keep him. I wouldn't sell/giveaway Mr. Bubbles even if someone would pay a lot for him. He was my first parrot and first fish I ever got since I seriously started keeping.

I really haven't had him that long. I wouldn't say I wont shed a tear to see him go but go he must. As did the killin.

Of all of them the sb texas is the one I want to work with the most. Can't explain it...I just love them, I think you can understand, lol.

And of course like many in the hobby I have a very limited space to work with. Not to mention a limited budget. I list all these reasons but honestly I hated selling the killin.

No joke, I need to find a part time job till I go back to school.

I like the parrots like you like the texs. You should get some shortbody red texas going. That would be sick to see. I would love to see a normal red/orange parrot with pearls but no flowers or black spots. That would be kick ass.
 
I think the red texas are awesome, but I'm more interested in crossing them back to carpintis. The closer you get to a perfect srt the more infertile the males become. I kinda don't like that. To me it's way more interesting to go the opposite direction.
 
I sincerely doubt it. They are almost certainly a texas X bp cross. Ask bluecan, his threw at least one fader I believe.
 
I really don't know, I am just comparing his pics to my fish really. But I suspected mine of it before I saw his. They show a bit of red gold where they shouldn't when the light hits them just right.
