HELP ME ID THIS FISH!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
BTW NONE OF THESE FISH ARE MINE.
I do own a male Kamfa and a female Kamfa and they seem to have paired up. I just need to know if I should use a Male texas with my female Kamfa or a my male Kamfa with a female Texas.
 
By pattern I meant the type of speckles that surely come from a Texas. They actually look just like Texas but with a red background. But yeah you're right creating those type of Red texas takes a lot of work. A whole lot of hit and miss. And a whole lot of luck to find a good specimens that are also fertile, as far as I'm concerned that's the hard thing about it is knowing for sure that the fish u have is capable of reproducing.
I have to disagree with you though the one in the right does reflect some Kamfa in him, even more than the one in the left. But hey who really knows? The only true valid answer would be..." The Asians that did it. " And I know for a fact asians love a FH.
 
Do you think the "Kamfa" I got is gonna get anywhere as red as the one of the pic I posted? I have no experience with Fh's it's my first "accidental" one..

Pattern doesn't have much to do with anything and I doubt the one on the right has Kamfa in it. Most strains like those are the result of some serious line breeding.

He caught the ick and got pretty ****ed by it as I thought he'd tough it thru it since he's a ****ing beast..then now he kinda lost the dark red a little bit and his eyes are purplelish...could be just a development stage or could be that is just stress mixed with ***ness.. i dunno I'ma clean the tank up and post a pic when the water isn't blue from the ick remedy...then u see what u think

No its not but I have seen a lot of those PK Flowerhorn and you got one of the good ones.

Oh really? So it works the opposite on red colored fish? I do have some dark substrate not completely black but half black half comun colored sand..
My EBJD's show a lot more color on black substrate as lighter ones make em wash out their colors some..

A lighter substrate and wallpaper would help his colors.

Just want to point out the 'Blue Texas' is used to refer to both the 'Texas' (Herichthys cyanoguttatum) and the 'Green Texas' (Herichthys carpintis), and hence why sometimes 'Green Texas' is blue. In fact, the 'Green Texas' can change their color between blue and green at will. Some may go their entire life not changing their colors, but others would change their colors rapidly. Because of this some people buy a 'Green Texas' as a 'Blue Texas' because at that time the 'Green Texas' is blue, and then later on it decides to become green one day and well, is not a 'Blue Texas' anymore. Since 'Blue Texas' also refers to the 'Texas' as some strains are blue-ish, yeah... 'Blue Texas' really shouldn't be used as any sort of designation. Stick to 'Texas' and 'Green Texas' or use the scientific names (referring to them as Cyano or Carp is enough) and there'd be so much less confusion.
