female ready but what for?

[barge51]

i have a 4 in pink female con she is almost all orange and has laid eggs a couple of times but i have no other fish. At my lfs they have

red devils
flowerhorns
texas
buttis
and oscars

which of these five would have the best chance if any of makin a hybrid with her just for my personal enjoyment.

the texas. although the female con if full of eggs will try to attract most of them. except for the butti and O's. i think all the rest can potentially fert her eggs.

the only con crosses i have ever heard of is with things like honduran red points and other members of the cryptoheros family. i've never heard of a con crossing with anything you have listed... why do you want to cross a con with any of those? why not breed the con to another con?

really??? ive heard of cons crossing with multiple species of Central American cichlids, my old LFS bred his male con with a female flowerhorn, he still has the fry if im not mistaken. ive heard of them breeding with Texas also.

That's new to me then. I've heard of a con x firemouth cross but never any of those listed. I'd like to see some pics of those crosses if anyone has any

wish i had an open tank to make a con hybrid ...

i highly suggest you get a male texas to make a hybrid like this
