There are many different people breeding "red texas" but it's rare you actually get one that fades like the nice ones you see online. Although they are becoming more readily available the nice ones are still usually $100+ and come from Asian countries. The ones I posted I just received last week they cost me $20 each and came from Rainybetta (Thai seller) on aquabid.com I am not sure how they will turn out but I am hoping for the best. Mine are about 1.25" and you can see a little red in their fins already. When they do fade expect them to start fading anywhere from 2-4" and to be fully faded by 5-7" most of the time but then again it all depends on the strain/quality/genetics of the fish.

Bean you are right about kamfa and red texas usually having the same mother but I still think this one is a red texas and not a king kamfa.

I hope you continue to update yours for us trophs mine are about the same size so let's see who can grow theirs out faster lol.

I never called this fish a KK... You cant call any fry this size a KK and actually have any reputable knowledge of FH. A Kamfa cant be called a "king" until it shows the traits of a KK. A lot of noobs in the FH world are getting fooled into what a KK really is... You cant buy a fry labeled as "kk" and actually expect it to mature into a King Kamfa.

This fry could be a RT or it could be a Kamfa... I just lean toward Kamfa for the solid and extremely dark flowerline. I could be wrong. It has happened before.
