They are the same fish, not 2 strains. Only difference is one has brighter orange. His fish are still SRT. Red Texas are not fully faded, or full orange.
BP X Texas = F1 Red Texas, F1 Red Texas X Father = F2 Red Texas, F2 Male X Mother = F3 Red Texas, possibly SRT. Continue this until you have desired amount of pearling and orange.
Show me an SRT that is RED. Dark ORANGE is the color of SRT. And when breeding them you have to continuously breed back with both the father and mother to get pearls and color. If you skip the father you get an orange fish with lame pearling. If you skip the mother you get a pearly fish with little or no orange. You are selectively breeding for these 2 traits. Without either there would be no SRT.
looking real nice bro. i also would have thought that big sucker was male, but i see that isn't the case. also are you sure that little one is male? it looks like it's showing a female tube. i could be wrong but just how it looks to me.
there are RED SRTs. they cost alot more than the orange RT or dark orange SRT. i saw an awesome one that was dark red with wormy pearls for $2500. i would have bought it if it was 250 instead.
Not saying you are wrong. Just saying that All SRT are the same. All the same fish. Some are just line bred longer and thus have more prominent traits. IE color, head, pearls, etc. The more time, effort, and skill that go into breeding a fish, the higher the quality will be. I guarantee if I sold a batch of 1st gen. RT I would get far less than I would for 4th or 5th gen fish. More time, effort, skill = Brighter color (or more red), bigger pearls, bigger head, etc.

yeppers...
i have seen a couple "SRT" that were called as such, but clearly had alot of flowerhorn genes present.
this is one of the best ones I would consider as being RED and not your run of the mill orange ones.

It is a fine line if you think about it. SRT are Texas X BP (Midas X Synspila).
FH are Tex X Midas X Synspila X Trimac X Festae X etc. (no particular order).
There really is no stability with FH. Any difference in the way you breed them or how many times each is line bred will result in a totally different fish. I guess after so long you will have specific "strains" like your ZZ, Kamfa, GM, SRT, Etc, Etc.
By the way that SRT is excellent.
