Hey,
for quite a while I am thinking about keeping KKP/Red Mammon or Red Texas.
But here in Germany you usually won't find them at all.
IF somebody imports them the prices are not affordable at all!

A while ago I found a Czech shop selling KKP.
Small ones for 35 Euro and bigger ones for about 70 Euro.
And I contacted a person who bought her KKP there.
She's quite satisfied with the quality of the fish and sent me some pictures:


In my opinion they are looking very good!
No deformations at all and a nice red/purple coloration.

What do you think about the quality and the price?
And another question would be if some males are fertile.
If I am buying KKP I'd buy a single one but I'd love to try crossbreeding them with Herichthys (texas cichlid) 'cause as far as I know the offspring should be a good start to breed Red Texas.

it's hard to say if its a skkp from that pic. i think you will have to grow it out some more to tell for sure. but the coloring is beautiful.

Hey,
here's a picture of it!

It's in a 3ft/100cm growout with my Blue Dempsey and some Catfish and juvenile Characins.
Till now they are doing fine together.

I wonder if it's a male or female.
If it's a male I'll keep it in a display tank.
If it's a female I'll mate it with texas cichlids to breed RT.
