From what i've read about hybrids, even breed a red terror and a green terror, trying to make whatever colour it is meant to be.. theres a good chance it wont have the colour of any of the fish and could be fairly bland.... so i probably wouldn't try it out lol..
yeah i bet your right, thanks

Um, creating a thread on a public forum is asking for comments.

And he's right, with all these hyrbids we wont have a pure fish alive in 20 years. These hybrids are outta hand as it is. Besides whats the point of making that hybrid anyways, just cause it would be "sick" LOL

Absolutely correct. It's bad enough now. You can't go to a fish store without seeing tanks and tanks of hybrids. Look at flowerhorns for example. IMO they are the greatest abortions in fish keeping. Keep it pure so you can show you children what cichlids should look like.

these hybrids are getting a little silly. most are not worth more than using as feeders..............


ding ding ding !!!!! we have a winner !!!!!!!!!
 
pretty sure the short answer, by the way, would be "no" . . . I don't think these two fish are closely related

in future, if you want to ask a hybrid question, why not post it in the Hybrid forum?
 
I refrained from saying this earlier, but you sound like a kid coloring easter eggs... green + red = purple? Which isn't even right... Fish genetics and breeding requires a lot more than just playing god and trying random combinations.
