So I know making new hybrids is sometimes frowned upon but I figure since Im starting with a hybrid x convict hybrid anyways it isn't such a big deal hehe. I'm going to be picking up either 6 or 15 (long story) jellybean parrots tomorrow. They're not dyed, just basically white and very cute looking; the females have a nice orange patch on them.
I'm going to get a pair or two out of them because they breed like cons, very fast, and very often, and I think they'd be cute additions to south American tanks everywhere. What I want to do with the remaining fish is try and cross them with some other south American cichlid to produce something really neat.
My assumption is that these fish can be crossed with anything a convict can be crossed with? I could very well be wrong here though so feel free to correct me. If so, what have cons been crossed with that I could realistically expect to cross these with? More importantly, what do you think would make interesting offspring? I don't have any pictures of the fish yet but I'll try and get some if I can.
