My end goal for a Red Texas line.

[Cichlids keeper]

This is my end goal for a Red Texas line, this isn't really talking about the time it would take to make a line or those things, just my goal. Large short body with a square like shape. Semi water kok/a water kok that is on the smaller side. Thick white pearling and a cherry red color for the base. I also would go for... well chins because I like the way it makes the face look. Red eyes preferably and long fins. These are just all the traits I want, I don't even know if I'll ever be able to breed a Red Texas line like I want but that is my goal. I might have to mix Flowerhorn in for the kok and red eyes. Does anyone else have a end goal for their line?

Good to have goals but this sounds like a 50 year goal
Breeding for specific traits is a lot of work
But good to keep goals sounds like a good looking fish would love to see it

Try it and let us know how it turns out. Would be interesting. But like Jacob says, it might take decades of cross breeding to get what you want. But doesn't hurt to start now.

You just explained the perfect fish.

After looking at cencu from Indonesia im.starting to think color morph cencu look identical to SRT.

I think a shortbody thaiGT and a red morph golden cencu female. Here is an example
