These are super red texas not regular red Texas. SRT do have to go thru a peeling process just like any other type of fader gene fish. RT are the ones that have the Gene being in them, they just never peeled. The only reason you will rarely see a SRT that is only partially peeled for sale is because they either wait for it to complete it's peeling before sale or they cull it because it didn't completely peel. If you go onto aquabid you'll find atleast a few SRT that are only partially peeled for sale.
