HYBRID BREEDING XPERIENCES?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have about 30 convict X green terror that a lady brought to me at work (at a pet store) that resulted from a 7"male green terror and a 4-1/2" female convict in a 30 gal. I have also seen ram (Microgeophagus Ramirezi) X angel fish (Pterophyllum Scalare) for sale.
 
i have bean breeding ciclids for a few years and find that body shape is the most important factor. like mixing a dovii with a salvini, or a jack and a blua acara because they recognize each other better. as far as convicts and firemouths if there are both m and f they will always pair off with their own kind. i find a smaller male larger female works best to keep him from killing her.

I have had my Jack Dempsey and my Dovi spawn twice but being in a community tank with other large fish they never make it............... yet.



Let me guess. The Clarias ate them? :eek:
 
I did have a guppy x molly hybrid once... she reached two inches, had a balloon belly ( She was not preggers.) and that's the only hybrid I have... I'm seeing if my firemouths will pair up with my convicts... both firemouths are males, both convicts are females.
