green terror x jack dempsey

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
40 hours with no sleep, yay. And dude, you can stop trying to argue lol. I already admitted I was wrong, but I still proved that it wasn't a JD. I'm so off my game right now.
 
yes it is not two GT, you are right. but just for the record, and to pass on knowledge to you my fellow GT lover. a GT cannot cross with a JD (jack Dempsey) or anything outside of its own genus. your fish can breed as they are a closely related species that belong to the same genus. congrats again and tell your breeder he gave you the wrong fish (accidentally).

ayeah that was what i was thinking, but some people in the hobby talk about it like its possible, but i guess a horse with a horn on its head is possible but it doesnt mean its a unicorn if you get my meaning
 
Yea! You all proved that yes he has tank full of feeders. Woo Hoo! Who really cares what they were hybridized with? Either way they should all meet the same fate, inside the belly of another animal or culled. BTW, they are two different genus now. Green Terrors have been moved to Andinoacara as the Blue Acara remains in the Aequidens genus.

The other problem is that without his pictures as proof of the parents, there is the possibility that it could have crossed with a JD. The JD could have been hybridized a couple times over first, then that would open up the possibility that it could have viable fry with species it wouldn't normally be able to cross with. I assume all cichlids at stores are hybrids (and consequently would never purchase them at stores now) and apparently the source of the fish had no idea what he had. There are so many levels of ignorance in this thread, probably including my own, it's kind of sad.
