Not that other colors are not beautiful(I like YeLLoW), but Red as the name. So why is it called Red Texas then? Because there really are true red on the right red texas. Then how much is spread through the fish for quality.
But I'd rather have a vribrant yellow Texas with Super shiny pearls.
dear OP, breed him to something
Something faderAn unfaded RT is NoT really a real RT imo.
Even MosT FAded ones R NoT ReaL RTs !frikin orange/peach/yellow/pale
But thanks for sharing your bad boy. Pump him Up!
the Breed he is he should be a glass banger
I think what your saying doesn't make sense. "Red Devils" aren't red, most are yellow or orange...what do you call them? You could call them yellow devils if you want, even orange devils, but you would be wrong. Red texas are a hybrid- regardless of what color they may be. Red, pink, yellow, orange, blue.

By your logic, an unfaded sibling to a red texas, would still be a red texas, which just isn't the case.
Think of it this way... We call a breed of dog by it's name and color, if applicable. Apricot poodle, red doberman, chocolate lab etc, all were created by man.
These are man made "breeds" of fish we're talking about, not pure species with a common name that's been in use for literally longer than you've been alive. Even if some of us wanted to change that name, many hobbyists would not, therefore it wont happen.
Also consider that hybrids vary (way more than pure species) in their phenotype. There's absolutely no way that one name could cover this wide range of genetic expression. An uneducated person might deem them different species, even if they were siblings!
p.s. red devils are also known as lemon cichlids, although this name isn't in common usage.
Even better thanks. I have a 1.5 inch flowerhorn right now that i am hoping is close to this once grown. I picked him up because of all the options he was the darkest almost black. He now has this powder blue developing all down his sides.
I moved them last week from a 29 to a 60 gallon and gotten a growth spurt from them. Tank mates are mostly my project rt made from diff combinations.
