Hi i have firemouth x convict hybrids and they laid eggs and just today the eggs hatched. I thought these would be infertile. Is this usual for two hybrids? What will the new generation look like?
Hybrid convicts breeding.

Anybody know what these hybrids may express in appearence and if the hybrid vigor may take place.
hey! I've got the same thing going on in my 75 gal tank. I've got a few firemouth X convicts at breeding size now and a few pure firemouths. They are really good looking fish and I may actually try and see if i can line breed some really cool colors for these fish. Mine have the "live and let live" attitude of the fm with the fm body shape mixed in with strong colorations of cons with very strong black bars. My male fm X con had great red and blue spangles with long fins and purple/ greyish body. I am really enjoying them.
That is if the hybrids are fertile..... Not to familiar with hybrid fish. Does anyone know if these FM X Cons will be fertile?
Is that a joke? Lmao they'll prob have more red on the gill plate this time around should be interesting.
