You can get RT from either species... It all depends on what you want the pearling to look like... Carpinte will give you big pearls and Cyano give you small pearls.tooth517;3899634; said:

Cool. Green tex is carpinte correct? And the momma is a standard bp? How do you sex the bp's? I know the males are almost always sterile so the mother has to be the parrot. I ask this because I have a cyanno juvie and just picked up a parrot juvie today. I'm hoping for a male tex and female bp but they are too young too vent. Your fry are looking great by the way, how many did you end up with?
My water temp is so unstable; when temp hits 78F they breed immediately, and when eggs laid, temp down to 60F, they ate all the eggs.
And ur texas is a cyano not carpintis i believe.

No thats not a dyed parrot. The only last a couple months any way. Thats a normal blood parrots color.
it would take generations to make nice rts. This is the first step.pikey0151;4574814; said:knew they wouldnt have red on them coz the parrot is died so it not natural! still really nice fish lol
All parrots change colors from pale white to bright red. Depends how it's kept. You can't blame quality or dye in the parrot. That's not dyed.
Looks like the texas gene dominated the fade gene. First generations are like this usually. Not the best I've seen. But hey you made it happen.
Good job.
