Check out these long fined severums?

I doubt those are crosses of angels. Different genus..How is that possible? It's just absurd to hear angels and sevs mating.

My Severum and Blue Acara have spawned before, nothing came of it but I hardly doubt it's impossible.

NICE LOOKING FISH

 

[jaws19]

i like them... they look pretty but im not a fan of morphs

 

[ciciwan]

i sorted it out
and im sorry to say,,but its not a real severum,,
its a heros efasciatus x severum,,or efasciatus

thats how he got that long fins

 

[BrtnBoy449]

those are awesome! i would love to have one!

 

[aquablue]

Those are kind of cool. I like the finage. I like them but then again i have nothing against hybrids and such as long as there kept responsibly.

They're too femenine for my taste. I'd rather have a big beefy brute than a fragile fish with long trailing fins any day.

Cichlids from different genus' breed all the time. There's nothing impossible about that. I've personally had a vieja synspillum and amphilophus citrinellus breed in my tank.

Key word you've stated above is 'phenomenon'. To me, natural is a term directed towards a species that can successfully thrive in the wild without external interference. Breeding two species in a confined space is not natural, sorry. Chain line breeding long finned or veil tailed morphs, as I understand this is how these species are made readily available, is not natural either. Why are these hybrids, long, and veil finned species not readily available in the wild?

Flowerhorns disgust me, Blood Parrots disgust me even more. Forgive me for holding morals that haven't been forced upon me in any way whatsoever towards keeping fish. Fish in a tank is unnatural enough as it is without consumer directed freaks filling up the store shelves. I don't breed, I just keep a single tank, but I'm sure if you ask any breeder out there who gives a solid damn about the hobby, he doesn't breed morphs or hybrids.

yeah i doubt they could live in the wild.I dont really agree with line breeding its like incest.You should have said to start with. That was your personal definition of natural.Because even in the wild you could get morphs they might not survive.But morphs that do, contribute to the wide variety of cichlids that live in the wild today dont you agree they all have a common ancestor.Even hybrid wild fish could have created wild populations of what you call NATURAL fish that we just dont know started out as a hybrid.
