Selective breeding and chance. Go ahead and breed some red devils with texas. Id love to see all the red texas you produce.

Some RT don't even show red @ all.
Most carry over the Texas gene so they appear a more green/brown base when small, & most will be pink or a drab pink when older.
You're lucky if you get a SRT/RT that is red, but you get what you pay for.
From what I've gather SRT/Rt's: Mammon/King Kong Parrot + Texas = SRT.
But you have to do a lot of selective breeding to get the fish pink.and carry over good pearling.
If you want red, you need to do a lot of home work.
Some ppl call RD + Texas, RT but in the end they're all just hybrids.
The high quality SRT/RT's you see sold for $1000's of dollars are not RD x Texas I can guarantee you that.
I have RT fry that I'm trying to breed back to some of my RD/Midas to get a more red base & thick body(I don't want a water kok I'd rather have a natural nuchal hump).
Will they be what the consider real SRT/RT's...???...
Nope, just a nice looking red hybrid with nice pearls.
Will it resemble a SRT/RT, probably.
This is the downside of flooding the market with low grade hybrids, ppl call the fish what they want, & there's no real way to trace the lineage of your fish.
