So I just got a few convict and red tiger hybrid fish free off of the beautiful thing called craigslist. They are still quite small now, but I was wondering if anyone has kept a cross like this before and maybe even have any pictures of what they might look like when they mature.
 
convict x red tiger motaguense? never seen it before nice pick up though
 
im assuming your talking about red tiger mota, i havent heard of that cross but def sound like they will be cool looking fish, will be interesting to see which parent they take after, def keep us posted
 
Check the hybrid section. Pretty sure someone just posted pictures of some of these. Mostly looked like cons but things can change as they grow.
 
Oh ya sorry I was getting them off my phone. And sorry that they're cell phone pictures but you can see the convict bars with a slight touch of red on the tail. Hopefully they color up more later.

And yes I do mean red tiger motaguense. They are standing up to the belly crawler pike and my festae trying to claim their corner. They're actually holding their own with the belly crawler but just running, or swimming, away from the festae
 
You can see a lot of mota in the first 2 pics and the third a bit more convict but could turn out to be quite a mix of both.
