I am talking about the orange red or white ones. Nevermind the regular FH or texas that may be in the pics. The parents were a female rose queen and the father was a common red devil. I lost both of the parents due to a defective heater. I have been growing these out for a short time and they all look different. Some are red and white and some are orange and black. My favorite one is red and white with a little black. Here are some pics of the grow outs and the mom. I am still looking for a pic of the dad but I only had him for ab out a week befor the heater zapped them. I dont know how or why but most of the fry made it. Anyway here are some pics.

Oh yeah, I am probably just going to keep the Red/White ones. I really like the RD lips and color. I am going to try to breed them to some Texas. Also the Red/White ones seem to be growing at a faster rate even though they all eat like pigs.

thats the first thing that jumped to my mind when i saw the pics. they look great, keep up the good work
 
Well these stupid things want to breed already. The largest one is about 3" or maybe a little bigger and she is ready! She has been making a nest and has been cleaning and "dancing" as my daughter calls it with an average looking male FH. Should I take the others out and leave them? I have the room but would rather be more selective in the breeding process. Here is a pic of the female in her little cave.

This isn't a weird Hybrid. I had a brood of 1400 Midas/Red Devil fry and half of them are white. The white is justa colour morph of the regular RD/Midas. Your has more the body shape of a RD. RD's also come in orange and black mix as well.

Very Nice all the same. I love the White RD's. They are also known as Creamsicle for obvious reasons.
