Is a Purple Rose Queen a Hybrid???

[sonnysosa3000]

Also what are they a cross between if they are crosses. A local fish store cross bred Purple Rose Queens and Red Devils, is this natural???

Yes it is a hybrid.

It's hard to tell exactly what it's made of, since hybrids are being mixed with other hybrids, making a completely 3rd type of hybrid, etc.

Here is my Purple rose queen with a lot of Midas in it.

13-14"

That is a beauty. What size tank is that??? I see a nice GT and Managuese too. Nice!!! Also thanks for the info.

From what I have read, they are a byproduct of blood parrot production... you get the typical blood parrot, king kong parrots, and rose queens....

or...

some kind of a mix between Midas/RD and Synspilum..... who really knows

They are pretty cool fish though.... here's mine....

I was always told it was a Synspilum and a Red Devil/Midas. They take a long time to turn colors though. I have a nice 4-5 inch who hasn't changed color yet.
