Female Kirin Parrot and Male Polar blue

[Dangerd22]

Hey everyone, I am working on doing some breeding projects with my flowerhorn and currently breeding her with a polar blue (seen in photos). I’m also going to try and breed her with my male Cuban cichlid, Texas cichlid, salvini, marbled conv, and jack Dempsey. Any tips? Also how would some of these hybrids look?

This is the flowerhorns parent. Hopefully I can get some good looking fry.

It’s a toss up with any hybrid. There’s no way to say for sure how they will look. In general, you can expect a flowerhorn shape and pattern, with some traits of the other cichlid, such as pearling, striping, or color.
For breeding, a lot of it really comes down to putting them in a tank (divider helps) and hoping they don’t kill each other.

What tank divider would you recommend for a 29 gal?

Often people will use egg crate cut to the size of the tank.
29 would get pretty cramped trying to breed these fish.

They are all around 3” atm.

3 inches may be a little small to breed right now, except for some of the smaller fish like con and sal. The rest may need to mature more before getting a good spawn.

Don't use egg crate, that stuff breaks down in water over time. Purchase a sturdy acrylic divider instead.
You sure the Male is fertile? Convict crosses with anything are pretty much useless, I would not use the "polar blue parrot" for breeding.

It is fertile and has no blood parrot in it. Just messed up genes between a honduran red point and conv.

This stuff?

I thought that was just plastic.
Polar blue is just a sb con, no parrot.
