I read the post, don't change what it is. The fish came from Segrest Farms in Florida. Segrest Farms supplies ever Petsmart and probably most stores in the South East. Your local store being in FL, I can say without a doubt they go through them as their wholesaler. Petsmart isn't the only place to get this strain of Kamfa, but being the most common place you will see it thats why its called PK Flowerhorn to easily identify the strain. The fish is not Red Texas its PK Flowerhorn.
 
^ Hate to say it but I agree. It may not be from Petsmart but it looks identical to the Petsmart kamfas. It's a really nice looking fish too, looks a lot like mine and has potential, but you'll have to grow him out more.
 
I can find out for sure,but the red tex I've seen @psmart do not fade.this is fading so could be flo-ho,tex mix.we'll see,but if it is flo-ho,then why not sell it as that?how come the rts at psmart don't fade?if the guy got flo-hos from segrest,why would he call them red tex?....
 
^ Because then people would wonder how you can buy them from Segrest and then we would have to explain again they can be found at Petsmart, and they would then ask why we don't just call them Petsmart kamfas instead....

Also, the Petsmart kamfas do change color and the long thread a few pages back shows plenty of photos showing how they have changed. There's nothing wrong with your fish, it simply isn't a red texas and if the store is selling it as that, I would question whether they really know what they are selling or if they are just ordering stuff out of a catalog...
 
Every store does not get their fish from seagrest farms, im really getting tired of hearing this load of crap. Petco and maybe petsmart yes i know petco fish came from there when i worked there. There are many fish stores in the dmv area that dont order anything from seagrest. And they to have all kinds of low grade red texas. Know at least one that orders straight from thailand and they still get low grade red texas. Best thing to do is see if the store owner wil tell you. I can get the same size and quality red dragons that all these sites sell for 100-150 for 30-60 bucks. The world is a big place. With all that said it could or could not be from seagrest check with your source if they will tell you.
