Lolwut? Flowerhorn can be and is used in some strains of Red Texas. I don't know who you get your information from but its not right.
Someone classifying the real bloodline who I had sold some jaguar frys to in the past. I called to get some clarification from him before I wasted my time hunting down this fish at petsmart. He said you have a better chance finding them in red devil tank than anything. He also said it should be already orange/reddish color all around by 2inch if its a true Red Texas cichlid. If not its a hybrid version where it kept more of the Texas cichlid gene for color.
