What to breed with texas cichlid to make a red texas?

[RickyOutlaw]

MY parrot and texas paired off. They spent about four day together and show all the signs of spwaning. But out of no where.she just stays away from him......why would she do this

Maybe he did have a big enough KOK ? lol

carpintis male x King-Kong Parrot or Red Mammon female Imo is the best you get the large white pearls including on face and the highest red content, still will only get around 30% srt though I think thats about right..most wont fully fade

What if you took the nicest siblings from that spawn and crossed them?

Would the males be fertile if a female KKP were used?

I have SB texas male and female, and a male and female KKP.

I'm going to try pairing the male texas and female kkp.

The female laid eggs with the male parrot through a divider, but there were no holes so who knows if the male KKP is sterile or the divider just blocked the spawning.

hello yall

Most looked like red devils with pearls, but the largest one peeled to look like a platinum color texas (7"); I sold the rest but kept him
Now he's the alpha male in my 110 gallon and pushes everyone else out of his way except my female rd flowerhorn -which is 1/3 his size. Hopefully there's love in the making

The one I kept is the last pic

***CORRECTION: The one I kept is in the middle pic.

I want to breed him with a blood parrot

 

[loureyes]

you should breed him back to a texas to get more pearls and more of a texas shape then you might be on to something.

hmm that might be a good idea, thanks for the advice

Ok guys you want to know the formula this is direct from the breeders in Thialand that breed them.

GT= Green Texas
KKP= King Kong Parrot
SRT= Super Red Texas
SUPER RED SYN= Super Red Synispillum

GT X KKP

GT X PARROT

GT X SUPER RED SYN


GT X SRT

Please note that the trick is to get a Male Green texas with Hump or KoK as we flowehorn breeders call it. and any of the other fish must be Females as Males are almost always infertile. I find that KKP and Blood Parrot work best but you must use one with very bright orange or Red color. I find that i get a lot of fading kumfa wih my bright orange KKP when i breed it with my ZZ malu.

Best luck anyone find a hot texas let me know

Have you ever tried a regular texas (Herichthys cyanoguttatus) or blue texas (Herichthys carpinte) instead of Green Texas? Do you know what this combination will yield? i know this thread is old, hopefully i get a reply.

I have used a H. cyanoguttatus crossed with a red devil... only 15% had the pearls, and only 1 or 2 are going to change color. I have found that the offspring of this cross is fertile when crossed with each other. I have a male and female pair that might fade but they have already produced fry (male is 4in female is about 2.5in). I am trying a H. carpintis x KKP and an escondido x KKP. Along with a midas x h. carpintis.
