Is this even possible? My female Salvini just laid some eggs on some drift wood and the Mayan is helping to guard it. Guess I will know for sure in a couple of days....

Sorry for the crappy pic.

yea, if they are even able to produce, i will let them get a little bigger before i use them as feeders. i will provide pics.
 
I dont see why it wouldnt work, both are centrals I think.. Im not too educated on Mayans though... But givent the name I would guess they originated somewhere in cental America... Like Mexico... Just a thought haha. Good on you for using as feeders too!!!
 
Why do you guys advocate using hybrids as feeders? I'm new to cichilids so please enlighten me.
 
I'd like to see the outcome of this, you could always seperate the fry untill there of a reasonable size, pick the strongest 1 or 2 and grow them out just to see the outcome. Obviously use the others as feeders. I guess as long as you don't let the hybrids breed then thats cool. Its when people sell hybrids into the open market thats a big no-no. Each to there own i guess :)
