Early stages of trying to make a Red Texas.

I had one like that, he faded out and such but got killed.

Oh okay, thanks. I got him from my uncles friend who had a small batch but i already knew it would be a 50/50 chance of a good specimen. What color did yours fade to?

He is one mean a** fish, he bit a cuban cichlid of equal size in half(fish still alive with previous owner) and nearly ripped the dempseys lip off last night. The dempsey will be going soon

Are you sure that is a red Texas? Looks more like a Midas. Texas always have some spots at a young age and this would even show if it was a texas hybrid.
I love the JD.

Also it might be a Midas/syn hybrid.
