Are all hybrids sterile?

[Restricted-]

I've heard before that all cichlid hybrids are sterile, but I wondered if that is true, other then flowerhorn of course. My LFS has what they call convict/jaguar/texas mix but I don't know if i should believe them or not?

[tiddlywinks]

hybrids only get sterile if continuous staking of the same genes or vieja hybrid can be sterile

Okay well I heard that they were the only hybrid that could reproduce, whether they are all fertile or not

In Cichlids, The female hybrid is generally fertile. male hybrids in general, are sterile.
