Name This Fish

[BrynMichael]

Also to add...Red Texas is what is commonly used to refer to a first or second generation fry that has not fully faded. A fish that is the result of breeding the BP with the Carpintis. When you finally get a RT from a batch that fully fades it is called a Super Red Texas. Super Reds are the expensive ones that cost $100 - $5000. Red Texas will usually not sell for more that $40.

This fish is def. a FH and not a Red Texas. RT look totally different, you can even tell in the video you posted that it looks nothing like the one in this thread. RT are created from line breeding specifically KingKong Parrots or Blood Parrots and Herichthys Carpintis. A flowerhorn has both KKP and Texas genetics, however there are several other fish involved as well, whereas the RT is specifically BP X Carpintis.

Your right I checked the Make up of a red texas, but I wouldn't say it looks nothing like it.. There are definetly some similarities between the two.. But thankx for the info, I did not know that Flowerhorns included that many fish, I guess that why they are so expensive...

That is one reason. Aesthetics is another, but I think the deciding factor is that people will just pay those ridiculous prices and so they maintain them. But yeah the FH world is all kinds of crazy.
