Thank you for message. On the one website of a Thai farm, in the comments to the SRM photo, there was a dispute between a Thai breeder and the owner of a red monkey about the identification of the fish. The Thai breeder gave several reasons that the photograph is not SRM, but a red kamfa fader. The designated criteria of the real SRM (they are solid red in color, without pearling, have a wide and not elongated body shape and yellow eyes, not white) allowed me to conclude that the FH/Cichlasoma trimaculatum gene is absent in the SRM genome.
In my opinion SRM is an effective combination of the vieja/redsyn and KKP genes.
I have had experience with hybridizing FH x KKP. The resulting red kamfa fader had many signs of red devil/midas:
FH x KKP cross No. 1 Father FH fader, son No. 1 red kamfa fader (blue eyes); son No. 2 red devil/midas like hybrid (red eyes).
