Super red texas question

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Green terror cannot hybridize with central American cichlids. Red mammon isn't a fish you can just buy at pet stores. You wouldn't want to use one anyways as males are sterile, and your fish already has fading genetics so you don't need anything mammon would bring with breeding...

What would you suggest
 
Green terror are one of the possible fish used to make brighter colored Texas cichlids. Why wouldn’t it be able to breed again
Gts are not used to make any hybrids. They are unable to hybridize outside of genus being South American cichlids, same for chocolates.
Carpintis are likely used to make bright Texas, as they are a bright blue fish.
Carpintis would be a good option for a partner because the two are closely related and the carpintis would bring lots of blues in the offspring. Essentially an unfaded red Texas.
Aquatic Aggression Aquatic Aggression makes a good point that by breeding with anything that has Midas genes, you aren’t really doing anything for color as all of the color genes were already passed on.
BTW your green terror is amazing! And the Texas looks like it is going to become a stunner too! Takes a bit for colors to come in all the way.

Didn’t know that. I’ve always heard they used gt for hybrids

I’ve heard of gt x convict, but that’s a convict do anything goes lol.
You may be thinking of red terror (festae). They are one of the few SA cichlids that hybridize readily.

Why give them such similar names ?. Not too good when it comes to cichlids with the same name it gets me confused. But yea I’m probably thinking of festae
