- Why are some Red Texas red and others not? How does a RT change colors? How do I know if my RT is really fading?
Here is some information on how a red Texas goes from a standard black body to a bright orange/red

6 years later and im getting a lot of my red texas info from you thanks
I just dove into the Red Texas pool today. Ive been keeping fish ( all types fresh ) for about 45 yrs now. Ive been building plywood aquariums for the past 8 yrs or so. I have a 450g tank with community Southies and a 300g with semi/agressive South and Centrals that got a Red Texas added today. I watched your video, hoping to learn about when red would appear. The fish is about 2 3/4" and a grayish color. It has some pearling, evenly spaced throughout body and fins. No signs of dark or red yet. However, today is 1st day in tank, so its still settling. It has a great appetite already. Its with 3"-5" Cuban and Vieja and GT and Jack Dempseys and Firemouths and Salvini and Convict with 60+ fry. So, its busy in the 300g right now. Ive watched several of your videos and sub'd.. I ask if you could share any insight and sub me and check out my builds. Thanks in advance.
I don't keep fish but I enjoy fish-keeping channels. Your channel is really good and informative and you speak very clearly and knowledgably. Excellent job, Dude! .. Keep going!
+Keith Clunk thanks for the kind words. But I think its time to set up a tank!
Very informative I like how you explain clearly for us that are learning the hobby thanks for your time and knowledge
Some good info here :)
A lot of people should watch these type of videos to understand the true beauty and dedication it takes to breed these.
tru
Very helpful and great information.
Brilliant video buddy 👍. Thanks.
Congrats on 1k subs
Thank you. Very informative! 😁
Good video thanks buddy !!!!!!!
Are woody's SRT have the long fins? He is beautiful by the way.
By looking at your tanks I see you use sponge filters. Is that all you need with weekly water changes? I have a flowerhorn in a 90 gallon with two sponges. They are rated for 60 gallon each. Do you think that is all I need for filters as long as I do my water changes?
Once i crossed a 4-5 inch blood parrot with a 4-5 inch male blue texas that i caught in the canal by my house in louisiana. out of about 150 fry maybe 8-10 were orange with pearls by 2-3 inches. But then i moved and had to sell all my fish. I really want to try breeding them again. It was super intresting watching them change color as they grew. At the same time i also had fry from that same male texas crossed with a female flowerhorn and some flowerhornXflowerhorn fry. They all looked pretty similar for a while but at about 1.5 inches you could start to tell the differences.
I have one that has good pearling but no red yet. He/she is about three inches and I can see red in the fins but not the body yet, I hope he has some red because his pearls are beautiful...
Is this the same fading you talked about the faders on the flowerhorns?
I'm dealing with korn for the first time. Seems like a cool dude. How many stars would you give his services
You must be in the FHH community or the RT community via FB! Keep it up! Hope you're still grooming Srt/rt
Hi Dan, I have a 5” size partially faded red texas, is there something that can be done to get the best out of it
I thought the Red Texas was originally a Midas or Red Devil cichlid with a Rio Grande Cichlid or similarly related species. I imagine the Red parrot was a later mix, but I guess they have similar parentage that it could go either way.
Got question for you bud, so if a gtc breeds into blood parrot to get SRTC, how about a blue pearl? Reason I ask I just picked up some beautiful labeled blue pearl Texas chiclid. Thanks in advance keep up the good vids 🤙🏽
Tony C blue pearl come from SRT fry too one of the versions possible
Beautiful cichlids bro, and great vids!!! just sub'd you
+Jay blu88 thanks for the comments, I hope you enjoy - Dan
Wondering if someone can tell me why my Texas was black with pretty pearl spots to almost all white with black like splotches???? Is he ok or what???
Are you selling any red Texas right Dan ??thank you
My texas has turned 95% white and still has pearl..is this good?
Cool bruh
Why my texas got dark black on bottom of mouth to belly
I wanna buy One if possible
My parrot fish is starting to fade now at around 12cm and its fading to a strong orange with green around the eyes/head and lots of blue markings on the fins and body
Blue pearls on the fins and body, he also has black stripes going down the body, got him/her when they were about 4cm maybe less not sure
My RTH is Trying to fade but it’s not turning that red can someone help
Do you sell these?
Good stuff just scooped up a Red Texas at PetSmart. Finger crossed
How much did you pay?
Why does my Green TeXas fry(2 inches) Kind of like sitting on the bottom all the time but will only swims up when feeding?
+How Wong maybe water, or other fish intimidating.
How do I contact u
Your fish from korn kgb is not an srt, it is an srth. He specializes in srth. Same as goal red ruby.
What about crossing with a Red parrot with a real Texas Cichlids Herichthys cyanoguttatus
