Can jack dempseys cross breed?

[Andrew1002]

I have 3 jack dempseys I believe its one male and two females. Then I have 3 oscars. I want to know if they can breed as every one of the fish have amazing colors! I am getting 3 jags as well maybe and am wondering if any of the combinations could breed? Also getting some flowerhorn/jag hybrids. Can any of my selections cross breed?

Any Central American Cichlid can hybridize with any other Central American Cichlid, Hybrid Central American Cichlid, or Cichlasoma Festae. Aside from Cichlasoma Festae, no other South American Cichlid has ever been confirmed to successfully hybridize with anything outside its own genus.

So essentially:

CA + CA = Fish
CA + HCA = Fish
CA + SA = No Fish
SA + SA = No fish
GSA + GSA = Fish

(CA = Central American/Festae, HCA = Hybrid Central American, GSA = Same Genus South American)

All SA can interbreed but if you throw oscars in the mix it will be nearly impossible, because they are almost impossible to breed with eachother let alone another species

 

[Zion and Cichlids is all]

and yes i seen a jag x fh hybrid plus a jd x rd hybrid... i wish my brother would have kept the jd x rd fry

Theres absolutely no evidence for that. Honestly never heard or seen a SA Hybrid. Do you mean CA, because they all can? Take a look at my thread bro http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...1-Rules-of-Hybridization-In-American-Cichlids
