here is the ultimate red texas and i think it beats out the festea
This has some photography magic going on. There is definitely a red light on the tank. Look at the sponge filter in the back.

Still a pretty fish, but I don't think those colors are what you would see everyday.

High quality Red Texas(Many call them SRT or Super Red Texas) are very hard to come by. It takes a lot of selective breeding and a lot of trial and error to get this amazing outcome. The only way to obtain them is by importing them, and be ready to shell out some change if you want a nice looking one.

This is true,A LOT of breeding and back breeding tighten up your line,takes years. Most people charge easy $250.00and up for a 3inch full faded deep red fry ( I got my best piece from thailand for $300.00)

Iv bred mine for years and only had maybe 10 that were high grade.
These fish kept me in the hybrid game after I lost my big flowerhorns
