The Plan: breed this male carpintis
uploadfromtaptalk1396799248355.jpg

To several smaller female festae, then breed those hybrids back to the male carpi, then breed those hybrids to a managuense. I'd like to get fertile males, that's why Id like to breed them back to the male carpi. This will be a while seeing as my females are about half the size of the male and not near sexual maturity quite yet.

I did already make a thread on this but I can't find it and it had crappy pix from my old phone in it. Will work on getting a good pic of my festae female later today.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas? Me and a couple friends are basically all into this, one of my buddies has a smaller jag that should be mature by the time fry from my carpi and festae are mature. The goal is making a more predatory looking, but pearly colorful cichlid. These guys are gonna be mean toothy terrors if this works

Sounds like a plan to me, I'm starting a red texas project my self. I hope it works out for you and your buddies, keep us updated.
 
Sounds fun and all. But u gonna have problems with them out growing ur space by the hundreds. They will for sure be worthless ane problem finding homes for them.. But u do u and enjoy. Just a heads up.

Culling + selling to lfs, when I told the manager of the place I got the Texas from my plan he said he'd take em all if it works out. Before anyone whines about it I'm going to make sure they are labeled as hybrids. Me and my friends plan to keep a group each also, we will be taking mostly females for ourselves for future breeding projects. My ultimate goal is stabilizing this hybrid and kind of making it like an american flowerhorn

I also have a Chesapeake bay water snake that disposes of unwanted fry or dead fish 3 to 4 inches long currently. He still has a bit to grow too

I didn't think SA and CA could cross?

Only exception is festae, there is already confirmed festae carpi hybrids and it seems like jags will lay with anything and since the jags festae cross, which is also proven, would work I figured the festaextexas would also be able to breed with the jag, at least produce infertile offspring. People into cichlids I tell about this locally all seem genuinely excited to see what I come up with
