Maybe you can bid on this one.

Personally I only order from sellers with a good track record. This guy seems new. But then again it took someone believing in me to get my own experiences

Got him at about an inch from cjbarth here on MFK. Great deal but a risk at that size. I did acutally make all my money back on the ones I grew out, still beautifull texas! He ended up free!

yeah i know i had to go and change my pants the first time i saw it too ..... think i read that it is the result of a thailand or taiwan red texas breeding project

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.

i don't know about that i mean those are some extremely white stripes for it to be under a red light

oh and the sponge filter thing well i am pretty sure man can make some super red sponge filters easily enough

definitely red lights to enhance red coloring. a quality piece none the less

My fish were shot with sun light or with a normal t8 flouri to give you a idea of how the red is with and without a special light.

Also most people use them to take pics of there stock to sell it to make them appear more deep red.

I prefer rarity of a fish that's naturally occurring, but that's me. Getting rare naturally occurring species out in to the hobby is much more beneficial IMO!

Can someone get me one of these?!

What is beneficial about keeping wild fish in your tanks? Nothing other than more fish to chose from you just hurt their species more by removing them from the wild. You're not prolonging the species or anything. Keep what you like and quit spamming the ops thread with your hate for hybrids. Red texas are certainly more rare/unique than any purebred they've been selectively bred for nice features.

To the op talk to rainybetta on aquabid if you want a faded red texas or get some fry off of cjbarth on here. He is from wisconsin and can ship you fry for cheap there is a good chance you will get something nice both of his parents are thai imports from rainnybetta and he has produced a couple really nice ones.

These are some awesome looking fish. But are most of the brightest fish hybrids?
