No it depends on Breed, if you read my post on your other thread you will see that the Red eye comes primarily from the Trimac part of their ancestry, but the Kamfa breed is interbred with Vieja species which contribute the white, yellow and orange to the eyes of flowerhorn

kamfa can have any colour, including red.. all other flowerhorn.. ZZ, GM, JK.. should have nice red eyes... if they dont, its classed as low grade..

yeah. Depends on how the genes were crossed and what came out.

Not at all.. the only FH you will get that does not have a red eye is kamfa..
if a FH has any other colour eye but red.. but has ZZ body shape etc..
you will find someone tried to make kamfa but failed with body and fin shape..
You can also get kamfa that have red eye.. but full kamfa shape..
These are considered less desirable O/s.. But i prefer them as they are usually more fertile..

def just opinion. I have jing kang that is all orange including his eyes. If his eyes were red he would not be ALL orange and therefore less desirable to myself. Also some flowerhorn with normally red eyes comes out with white eyes it is considered very rare and valuable.
