Breeding JAGUAR cichlid with RED TIGER

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Im all for hybrids. but this kind of breeding is the kind that ruins bloodlines. I dont think its a good idea to cross cichlids that look similar.

Just asking a question....how does one person breeding there own fish in home ruin the bloodlines of a specific type of fish?

If the fish look like one of the parents and sold as that type of fish and not a hybryd. Selling a hybryd as a pure strain is almost as bad as releasing a fish in the wild.

What if he had some pure jags breeding and a couple hybrids slipped into the pure batch? And they were sold as pure. and they would be breed with pure fish contaminating the blood line. what i should have said is be careful
 
Yes it is possible. Originally had 2 batches of fry but parents went crazy while I was out of town and killed all but 5 all were the same size but within months one out grew the rest. And the aggression followed. It tried to kill my 2 of my oscars which it was not even close to the same size yet it wouldn't stop. I had to place it in its own tank
