Do you keep hybrids.

[twinturbo]

hybrids are cool w/me. they encompass the best traits of cichlids. only downside is they are so aggressive.

I had a flowerhorn so I've kept and will probably continue to keep hybrids. I just make sure that they don't breed with any other species and I try not to sell/give them away. If I do get rid of a fish that I'm not sure of its genetics (petsmart midas), I make sure that I tell that person and advise them to do the same.

Sup folks? I am doing a bit of research and would like to know one thing. Do you keep hybrids. I'm posting it in this forum because I wanted people who enjoy keeping pure as well as hybrid cichlids. If you can give me a hand with this I would greatly appreciate it.

I no longer own any 'Hybrid' species.

However, at one point and time, yes. I was under the 'Freshwater - Oriental' influence, which resulted in traveling outside of the U.S.A. in the efforts of collecting very expensive, very exotic, very restricted specimens. This influence lasted a little over 3 years.

I have now, switched back to keeping 'Pure' cichlids; Central American cichlids, which has had an everlasting enjoyment for me. And, inexpensive compared to thousands of dollars spent over the last 6 years on rare exotics and saltwater reefing!

I recently aquired a free 55g tank setup that had some parrots in it. Haven't quite gotten around to losing them yet.

Yeah hybrids are great. My favorite one is the yellow labridens from Media Luna ;-P (j/k)
