Texas x parrot is the start to red Texas. And from what I've seen not many short body fish come out.

Short body is just a deformity. Not a result of crossing something with a Bp. If it was a cross it wouldn't be a try sb Texas. You would have to find actual short bodied Texas or ones with the deformity in its genes

If you breed a texas to a parrot you will have 50% sb fry of varying length, some will be very short, some will be nearly full length. It is best to seperate sb fry from their full length siblings. These fry will also vary in looks, some will be very pearly, some won't. Some will fade and turn orange like their parrot mother, some won't. Back crossing an sb female texas X parrot to another texas will produce fry that will look almost exactly like texas. Always choose the sb fry, backcross to texas to improve type.
