In order to create more varieties of hybrid fish, fish breeding researchers have imported large quantities of cichladaes from South America to cross-breed with the Red Parrot in Taiwan. The selected fish for parentage include C. nicaraguense (Zhen Zhu Huokou) C.octofasciatum (Lan Huo Kou), C. festae (Hong Fu Huo Kou), C. Meeki (Jin Buo Luo), C. severum (Jiu Jian Buo Luo), C, centrarchus (Hua Wen Bao), C. managuense or C. dovii (Jin Qian Bao) C. carpinte (Jie Wang), Hypselecara temporalis (Shi Tou), C. nigrofasciatum (Hong Zhu Astoronotus ocellatus var and Uaru amhiacanthoides Hei Yun).

The techniques adopted include: natural pairing and manipulated pairing of parentage even invitro techniques.

The commonly chosen male parents for breeding are Purple Parrot (Zi Hong Huo Kou), Red Devils, and C. dovii (Jin Qian Bao). The success occurs by choosing male Red Devil to pair with female Red Parrot to produce their offspring of second and third or even more generations. This breeding technique has created today's Gold Severum (Jin Gang Ying Wu).

huh interesting

That is not the origin of a Gold Severum. It is the origin of flowerhorns though.

 

[fishfreak317]

are you 100% sure? why would i come across this on the net, if it didn't have some sort of fact in it? can someone provide concrete evidence that gold severum is found in the wild?

 

[fishfreak317]

lol just something i came across. thought it would be good to talk about. i am currently researching this more.

Found this http://www.crittersite.com/592/fish/Cichlid%20-%20Severum-%20Gold.html

 

[cichlidmasterpro]

Explain this?

Yeah, I always thought gold sevs were just a color morph. If they were hybridized, they would share characteristics of all fish crossed, like said fh. Where is this quote from? Post a link, and get more discussion.

i got the info from this article.

Article

interesting article i tell ya what.

from what i have researched today through various sites containing info on this. basically is this. the gold severum is a aquarium bred species. meaning to me is that isn't found in the wild. i'm gonna continue my search for more info, and post some more tid bits of info.

I think that maybe not sayin that in this case is one of them. That peaple post false information to avoid rival breeders on know the secrets on getting the same fish them themselves have breed
