Red texas fading......When?

[Aquatic Aggression]

Not to offend anyone, I only really want to commit to the fish if there is a high chance it will change to red.

This statement kind of goes along with what I'm saying.

There are non fading red Texas and rt faders. Non faders have a red color without fading (kind of like mfker water's nice former rt) and there is a difference between the non fading true red texas and an unfaded hybrid. Some pure carpintis will have a slight red tone beneath their pearls anyways. Not all Texas hybrids fade man so why call them all red Texas? Nothing against any Texas hybrids at all and a regular color carpintis x parrot would certainly be useful in further rt breeding but its still not a red Texas...

Red Texas are made up of Texas crossed with any fader species from Red Devils to the Blood Parrot & Flowerhorn complex. IMO they should called Red Texas so they will know what they get instead of "Green Texas" which you can either get a hybrid or a pure species.

Whatever you like it or not, I'll labeled them as Red Texas even if they are not red.

Call them what you want man I don't care I just think it would be better for hybrid keepers and breeders if we called these things what they actually are.

get one that has already begun to fade or is black and white. You can never tell without knowing but apparently females fade quicker
