culling of fry that could prove without a doubt that that particular hybridization could happen would be more of a detriment to the hobby that logging a journal or proving once and for all that it is likely, in addition it would most likely have a write up in some aquarium magazine, just because it has never been properly documented by a responsible hobbyist , that can verify facts.. and proof. aside from a maybe photoshopped pic
Can a Angel and severum cross breed?

I call BS on the severum X convict hybrid until I see documented proof of the pair spawning and the fry being reared. I have spawned a ton of mis-barred severums that have odd markings.
Didn't want to cause problems. I understand that everyone has their own thoughts, and morals. I just found it weird that the hybrids would be killed when you put the parents together. I respect your opinion just wanted clarification. That's the point of forums.

I thought this thread would have sparked more interest/discussion on the evolution and diversification of CA/SA species. No interest?
Everytime someone post a long article, like when Neil post something, it usually goes unread. I read bits of it and will admit a lot of it went over my head.
weather or not you read the whole paper I thought the subject itself would be interesting to most. I get tried of the same old " s a 55 gal tank ok for" and then a list of ten twelve fish and that gets 87 replys. This is a very cool topic and all I hear are crickets.....lol. I just thought the evolution of cichlids would be interesting to more people. Guess not. I love that stuff.
I had avoided clicking on this thread because of the title... "Can I cross X with Y? That wud be teh coolest! Oh, you never done it but maybe it's possible!!! Skjdjsksksksoucuhd"

Unfortunatly you're right. I find the subject of the evolution of new world cichlids an interesting topic and always speculated about the relationship and evolutionary path of Angelfish, Severum, Festavum and others. There is not too much on the subject that I've seen.
