I couldnt figure out a proper title.for this. ok let me pick ur brains for a sec. i have the following, short bodied (no skeletal disfigurments) black cons all females, male platinum honduran red point, female blue convict- let me elaborate on this fish. they are labled as blue convicts, to me certain specimens in the bath looked pure honduran red point (blue fins and gill plate red caudal fin broken 3rd bar ect) this female is absoultly a stunner i cant imagine her being regular convict. anyways today i bought male with the same look. so my questions i guess for a breeding project:
1. if these are blue convicts what are they? convict hrp hybrids and some came out hrp?
2. what will i get if these two blues breed? hrps? blues? or 50/50? how do these genes work?
3. if platinum hrp breed with short bodied black female what will i get there? sb platinums? what percentages am i looking at here?
4. platinum honduran red point x blue female what will this get?
 
Oh and if u have any ideas on an interesting project with these fish feel free to share. although please if you dont like hybrids, are against them or dont have anything constructive to say dont reply please. no one is twisting ur arm to reply or even to have read this thread if u were against it from the begining. thankx in advanced :)

From what I.ve read amd seen from convicts , blue cons are hrps just since they look sk similar to black cons they say call em blue cons but black cons ive had never had any blue

I dunno ive seen pics of cons on here with some blue that arent hrps. that why although maybe not pure but maybe hrp black con hybrids. so if i understand my cichlid genetics correctly if these two "blues" have one parent that is hrp they have the hrp gene theirfore will throw hrps if bred together like breeding ebjds. no? and if bred with a platinum honduran red point i will get some pure platinum red points some hrps and some "blues" no?

some people do breed hrps and black cons together unknowingly . hrps breed like cons some time even more readily then cons . i've read online that they spawn every 2 weeks or so, my old cons would spawn every month . i would think if u breed the blues together you would carry on the hrp gene and if you did it with the platinum hrp it might turn out half blue and half platinum but im not to sure about that cause i've never breed ebjd or jds.
