Can a Salvini and Jack Dempsey produce a hybrid together?

[Cahmasjl]

My salvini just layed her eggs with a jack Dempsey and I was wondering if it’s possible for the jack to fertilize the eggs.

It is probably possible, most CA's can hybridize.

I’ve looked up a lot and can only find one web page that said he’s never did so I am very curious to find out

They are very closely related, coming from the same primitive Heroine ancestor, so yes they can.
Whether allowing the fry to be distributed well..with all the unidentifiable random hybrids out there..that is another story.

Better question- why would you want to?
The hobby has enough hybrids polluting it as is.

They likely can Hybridize, keep us updated on how/if fry turn out

Its cool to c how the fish turns out and hybrids gain personalties from both fish making it different and one of a kind

Awesome to hear. The fry is doing good as well as the fishes protecting it
