Crossing a Flowerhorn with a Texas would prove to be a nice hybrid.

I concur, Red devils will breed at 5" and a FH has RD in it.

but he have only 1 big enoph to breed

the other 3 looks young to me

however, may it can ...may be not

only the fish know if it get to maturity yet

he is right, these fish still too young for breed. i been breed flowerhorns for years now.

1st, you need to think about quality. Male need to be at least 10" or over a year old to produce healthy fries and high quality.

2nd. young male still too exciting and will attack female fish.

3rd. parents quality. you need to find quality parents which should have large hump. nice color, body shape....as you might thinking about selling those fries to make some profit rite? and first thing people will ask... that could they see some parents photo.

well hope any help.
if need more info about flowerhorn then PM me.
