If I mixed a faded Red Texas with a Water Kok flowerhorn could I get a Red Texas with a fairly large kok and a flowerhorn body shape while still keeping the pearls and the red color?

It's possible but it would be easier mixing a super pearly FH with a bright red FH with both of them having a decent kok. With a male RT they don't tend to get much if any of a kok while it can be pretty easy to find FH's with big koks, even females. You can also find plenty of FH's with big bold pearls as well along with ones that are bright red. But either way ya do it it's going to involve cherry picking offspring and culling the rest. Its just going with only FH's your going to have a lil less culling then you would with the RT.
