I think your situation is pretty much one half the breeding formula for the Red Texas Cichlid.
If you breed some of your best offspring with a Texas Cichlid then the process will be complete. From that union, most of the offspring will have brilliant blue pearling. Eventually a small percentage of the offspring will fade, resulting in red pearls with white edging. Those are big time "money fish". You might give it a try. Here's a baby pic of my unfaded Red Texas to give you an idea of potential coloration of your fry. He's a true monster now.20190521_220430.jpg
