i'm just wondering how do you feel about hybrids opions and experiences and beliefs because i have a 29 gallon raising hybrid mbuna fry of auratus and a unknown mbuna male. And im wondering what to expect.
 
I have some hybrids in my tank just from having multiple different species together, and some of them look great with very nice colors and patterns and some are drab. It all depends on the parents.
 
I don't have an issue with hybrids per se. My issue is when people sell them or even give them away saying they are one type of fish - when they obviously not. This usually occurs with people not knowing better, but in my opinion that doesn't make it ok.

I will say that I prefer to avoid hybrids in my tank. In my experience most hybrid fry tend to be rather drab in color and can really muck up a very colorful african cichlid tank.
