Even though they are getting Kamfa mixed with the fish they do have Red Texas being shipped out I really would like to know who the wholesaler is that supplying them with the Flowerhorn and Red Texas.

Segrest farms. They have several different strains of FH, as well as RT's listed in the link below. Most likely all imported from some massive wholesale operation in Asia.

I wouldn't expect much in the way of quality.

Yeah I found out it was Segrest shortly after posting that. As for the quality most that I have seen are meh but there are a few that have potential. This thread is essentially abandoned for the other thread I made but it keeps getting brought back up.

That actually makes sense now, I have been working on the theory that they had been coming from Segrest Farms in Florida. I was pretty sure that Petsmart fish wholesaler shipped to all of them and Segrest is a big enough operation to fit that. Now this whole situation makes complete since, one look at Segrest's lists and they have no clue on what fish have and what they are called. Take a look for yourself in the catalog section of their site: http://www.segrestfarms.com/

Oh and as a little treat, I will post a picture of their Red Texas right from their site.
