Who refers to them as wild hybrids? Wild Hybrids are hybrids that occur naturally in the wild. I have not know labs and cobalts to be noted as natural hybrid
cross breeding?

I was saying that some books I have read state that the p. socolofi is a "wild Hybrid". Hybridized by breeders and then place back in the lake at an easy to access location, so they can be collected and sold as wild caught. I don't think that the p. socolofi is a hybrid of a lab and cobalt either, just thought it was curious that mine turned out looking like one.
I just had a yellow lab breed with a snow white socolofi . ive got the fry in a 10 gal, very curious to what they are going to look like. I think it would be cool if some of them had sort of a transition yellow fading into white color pattern. So its definitely a possibility of yours breeding with the cobalt
this is interesting. If i had more tanks i might try to get some interesting hybrids for my self. Hybrids are sterile though right?
My Yellow lab F has had her eggs ferted by Auratus - Johannii - Exasperatus fortunately or unfortunately the fry are eaten by my Bichirs. Once she lays eggs it's open season for any of the mbuna males. I have caught and raised some fry for feeders most do look like the Lab and most are albino to an extent. 2 of her fry were raised to adulthood - an albino which lives in my friends Mbuna tank and an Electric Blue & Yellow thats here with me.
