Texas and Red Devil

...but not just any random texas and red devil, I'd imagine...

Like hybrids or not, they're pretty darn attractive fish...

I agree, it's when people hybridize and pass it off as pure, then unsuspecting people get them and spawn them and spread them through the hobby... Kind of like the vieja complex.... Hard to find pure in stores...

Face (and hump) usually is from the father. Father: cyano or carpintis (there is a classification on pearl scales). Mother: red devil, king kong parrot, parrot, flamingo, etc.. Marko, I don't know if brasiliensis male can work but you can use a female orange paleatus. :lol:
