Hybrid question

[cichlidsguy]

i was wondering if any cichlid that mix with each other(hybrid) are they all called flowerhorn??
for example a red devil and a texas is that called a flowerhorn or a red texas or someother name?

Naming is ridiculous in this hobby. I prefer the long name detailing exactly what is in the mix. There is a lot of dispute over how to name flowerhorns, and some of the names make no sense to me.

i wonder of you can get a pink convict (female) with a firemouth(male)
would that be considered a flowerhorn? I just dont understand the def. because there are to many people calling any hybrid a flowerhorn

 

[cichlidsguy]

pink convict and firemouth might be a albino firemouth w/stripes

i think it is supposed to be a cichlasoma based fish but I really don't think there are rules.

i see people calling parrot hybrids flowerhorns so I duno.

wait for a pro to answer this one.

 

[cichlidsguy]

forget about my whole albino firemouth some explain to me that it wouldnt create pink frys or white frys whatever,they told me it woul look like a normal convict/firemouth..

on another note.thanks for at least attempting to answer my question poop

I think that it is possible to get some of the pink genes out in the babies doubt they will have a kok though.

I think you would have better luck if you use a male pink convict and a female fm to get the pink genes i have notice when you do it to pink con to black con the male is more likely to though its color
