Eh, can you post pictures of the two parent fish? Red Tex. generally are showing their red colors by 3"...if they aren't showing much red color by then then they aren't gonna turn red or even orange. To be honest I don't think they will even turn orange. Red texas are my fav. hybrid, done a lot of research on them and what not, and 80% of the time if they aren't gettin red by the time they are 3" they won't color up. Just a fact. They are awesome fish though and you are gonna have some killer lookin adults....
Many of them are turning very red a few have no color at all. I'm not the breeder so I do not have pictures of the parents.. The last shipment I recieved from them I got 40% or so that turned orange/red or some variation.. They did not really color up untill 5-6" mark for me although by 3" you can start to tell.
