Is there a list with all the known Central America hybrids and gender fertility. I think it will be helpfull to anybody that want to start a hybrid project.

I would think that the question of fertility would be such an individualized thing between fish that it would be nearly impossible to make an accurate list.
I’m sure some combinations produce infertile males of some species and infertile females of another.
But there can be exceptions within these groups.
Im not aware of any list. That’s not to say there’s not one somewhere

is pretty knowledgeable on Central American cichlids.

If you're referring to flowerhorn, ZZ and gold base males have higher odds of being fertile but still a gamble. A Kamfa fertile male is like finding a needle in a haystack. Red Texas lower generation males are a needle in a haystack. The higher the generation the better your chances, but still a gamble. Females across the board...kamfa, zz, gb, and rt lay eggs more often than not.
If you're referring to pure centrals to cross together...as far as I know pretty much any are possible if you can get them to do the deed. I'm about 85% confident in that but gladly leaving that extra 15% to be corrected if I'm wrong. ???

I automatically went to flowerhorn or Texas hybrid in my mind.
That’s a good point though.
I don’t know if anyone has taken the time to make a list of pure fish crosses and known fertility rates of each sex.

Have you read through some of the sticky threads.
I know it’s not specific to fertility in males and female hybrids but still some good
information.

What about this..
GT(m) x RTHF(f)
what are the chances to get a fertile male?
Both parents share GT blood but the mother is a red texas hybrid. Would the hybridization still create sterile males?

I would assume so mainly just because most red Texas are made by breeding a female BP with a male Texas and then breeding the offspring with again with another Texas, so most red Texas tend to have 1/4 BP and 3/4 Texas. So if you would most likely end up with very few offspring that are born infertile but the majority would be fertile.
Chris started this list several years ago, which is a sticky at the top of the hybrid folder.

The Big Cichlid Hybrid Example Thread (Load Warning)
Here are some examples of hybrid cichlids for those of you wanting to ask " What do A x B look like?". This thread is to show example of noncomercial sold hybrids. Just a reminder, when you hybridize there is no cookie cutter for what the fish will come out like. Results not typical! I will add...

My red Texas female is flowerhorn/texas hybrid. Doesn't show any bp traits although yes there might be some in there. Would that change it up a bit?
She seems to be a product of a few selective breeding programs, I cant imagine she was from a random spawn
Maybe, not a 100% certain tho. She is very nice looking either way tho. I know with FH atleast that, unlike the BP, it's very flip flop on which could be infertile/fertile. So honestly it's like the toss of a coin on whether or not it will be fertile. You could end up really lucky but then again you could end up with an infertile female. So all in all it's a gamble with all chips on the table. It would definitely be worth seeing a hybrid between those 2 tho. Personally I'd like to start a paratilapia polleni/FH cross project but I honestly don't know if it would even be possible to hybridize an African with a FH.
