Are they any harder?

Semi confused but wild fish are just the opposite. IE water parameters are more important, for eating many types are more picky. Now to get a cross you are starting to domesticate a fish...

i am comtemplating getting a wild cross from angels plus. They cross a wild angel with a domestic agnel and i would buy the off spring! and i want to know if the offspring are any harder to breed than their domestic parent
 
Ok so you are saying that they are taking a wild and reintroducing with a domestic one. I would think that it would be hardier than the wild one. IE more prone to except tank conditions vs wild conditions. But by mixing it with a wild it has made it so that it has genes that are less likely to have birth anomalies. (IE odd fins, etc).

SO in other words just fyi Usually:
wild = better genes, harder to keep in tanks. (IE needs water and food like it was living in.)
domesticated = Easier to raise in tanks. (IE hardier in the sense of likely will eat flake foods and other dry foods, and can tank a higher range of ph and hardness) but more prone to birth defects and obviously hybridization.
