Ken Davis hybrids red chancho or midas fenny

[PhishMon84]

I need get my 300rubbermaid stock tank running- I want another but they won’t deliver and it won’t fit my car ?.
Ideally two plumbed together that I can move all my past spawns that are now adults - after two years of not being able to or having the time to sell or trade the extras

nonenof them look parrotty that he has posted. I would think he’d show them if he had them.

I think the most interesting fish will show up in F2 of that cross. Those should be more all over the place as far as structure. I may get a pair but I don’t have space for any kind of longterm project with those beasts. I need to build a little greenhouse I can heat to 68 in the winter so I can just keep them in stock tanks like I do

He might atleast show them. But knowing Ken he will cull them either way so just as likely he could’ve culled them at the first indication they were parrot/shortbody without showing them.

I am know for pure fish bred from wild stock with a colelction location, but i do not a problem with hybrids and long as they are not deformed, short body, balloon belly, goober mouth fish, they are feeders here. The red chanchos I get from another breeder,he is on the f7 generation back cross to a male chancho each generation and then selected for red color, they breed pure now, look like any heavy body amph and because of the heavy chancho blood get huge. The midas fen cross was an accident, I grew them out just to see what they would look like, This is a male from some of the first ones I shipped.
TThis This is what they look like as fry

More than 20 years ago, one of my acquaintances received a red devil x vieja guttulatus cross. F1 had the body shape of BP. Fading did not occur, the hybrids were colored as vieja guttulatus. Based on your random cross, I've come to the position that the formula midas/red devil x any vieja = BP body doesn't always work.
