Need help sexing texas/parrot hybrids.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
these arent texas/parrots there killin parrots
#6 looks a little Kilin but they all look more Texas than Kilin.

I sort of agree with both statements. I do indeed grade them all as killins except #4, that one I would say could be graded as a (not yet peeled) red texas. I do grade them as killins, but yes they do show a ton of texas traits. While number 6 resembles a killin the most, the others just dont look texas enough to be graded that way, to me they are killins.
 
Every time I look at 2, 6 and 7 I nearly wet mah pants! :drool::WHOA:

Trimac parrot?

Pics of 6 and 7 taken in that same photo session, the difference was in these pics filtered sunlight is coming through a window 1 foot away from the tank.....get a napkin people, the drool may hit your chin before you can blink.

Hmm, looking at this pic you can see that green/yellow behind her pearls. It probably has to do with the parrot/fh blood in them.
 
Normal male Escondido, his background color is slightly green (doesnt show in the pic really) but it is definitely more drab. No where near as pronounced as in the hybrids.

if it doenst have flowerhorn in it i isnt kilin

They have green texas in them and they certainly arent Green texas, they also have parrot in them are they then parrot fish?

This thread is about sexing the fish, NOT a debate on what they are, if this thread should shift gears and turn into some STUPID argument about what to frickin CALL a hybrid I will have a mod SHUT IT DOWN AND I WILL START A NEW ONE.
