Will post some pics later 
They are beautiful pair. Female is red/white citrinellum and the male is escondido carpintis

The black neon tetra living with them with no problems at all

he's a bada$$ that would be cool white with green pearls if it was possible i've honestly never seen tetras with cichlid especially that size
They don't have any problems together (cichlids and tetras) the problem is feeding the tetras
I think that if they cross will have only one copy of fading gene and the fry will be orange will pearls. To have white fishes you need 2 copies of the fading gene. It's simililar to the Ball python genetics - Pastel x Normal - 50%pastel & 50% Normal. Pastel x Pastel - 75% pastel & 25% super pastel.
Fader x Non fader - 50% fader and 50% non fader, Fader x Fader - 75% faders and 25% - super faders (white ones with red)

Now I can't speak on ball pythons genetics cause I know nothing about them. But as far as rt's I(and everyone else) wish it was that easy! I'm not saying you are wrong but there aren't many people out there making quality rt's. Did someone run that by you or did they provide proof of what your saying to be true? Oh wait a minute you DID say I THINK. That is a great assumption and it would be nice if it were true. My knowledge is with bp/texas and bp/carpintis to where the bp's produce a lot more variables. Well anyways your pair should make some very nice fish. Good luck with them bonding.
I don't know what exactly they will produce but know for sure that they will be with nice shape. For the color I'm sure that they will not be best RT ever seen, but this will be only F1 and I think it will be a good first step
About fader genetics I read some where that an I think it's proofed. That the white form of faders is a super form of normal fader (fader x fader cross) And if you cross 2 fishes with mostly orange body they will produce more orange fry and some with orange/white body. On F2 if you choose a supers (red/orange ones) you will get orange ones, orange/white ones and few mostly white with less orange.
Most of todays hybrids (ciclids, snakes, gecko's etc) are product of human selection. They are line bred to be what they are. If you choose more and more red fishes in your cross you will end up with super nice red line of fishes. But this will take more then f10 or more...

i have to correct you on the pastel x pastel would produce 25% normal 50% pastel 25% super pastel
The fader gene from midas/red devil is a dominant or possibly co-dominant gene. I have not verified this personally, but I do believe that the red & white gene is a separate gene from the fader & also dominant, possibly co-dominant. It only occurs in faders it's true, but I'm not so sure it's the same gene. Thats like saying the pink con gene is the same as the marbled con gene, it's just not that simple.
I believe you will get 50% faders, 50% non faders. As for pearling, it will vary wildly from fry to fry, some will have lots, some will have little to none. I suspect you might see some fry with white patches, I'm not sure on percentages or the amount of white coverage you'll see, but you should see some at least.
