What would be a good starting size to try that combo out? Preference on which species should be the male and which the female? How is the aggression when two different species are paired up?

Sorry for all the questions, I have a 94g tank empty that I was going to try an arowana in. These hybrids intrigue me a lot.

The tank might be a little small but you could probably pull it off if your fish were both under 6". If I were you I'd get a male amphilophus festae, and a female parachromis of your choice. In order I'd go with loiselle, freddy, dovii, jag.

and I've had a green terror trying to breed with a red devil for about 2 months now, finally just removed all the tank mates, can't wait to see what I end up with..

If it helps one way or the other, the tank is custom- 60x20x18
 
you could always try something very easy like firecons(male firemouth female convict) or maybe something involving blood parrot-theyll breed with anything!
 
I have some JDs and EBJDs I'm growing out. The JD's are female and I'm not sure on the EB's. To the best of my knowledge, if these breed, they will not produce EBJD's..they will only produce JD's that can in return breed and produce EB's. So would it be the same for all hybrids? Do you always have to breed back the "gene" carriers to produce the hybrid, or do you get them in the first generation?

Sorry to confuse anyone, but I'm a little confused myself.
 
its not always that way with producing hybrids but with jacks regular is dominant over EB so the fry come out heterozygous(50% EB) for electric blue. if your crossing species most of the time it is incomplete dominance which is just a complete mixture.
