Mbuna ID

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have about 3 solid yellow labs from about 10 batches of eggs. My Male is also solid yellow. Mine are probably part mutt, but so are my cats and dogs.20180914_210319.jpg
 
All solid yellow labs are hybrid crosses.
 
Why are they called hybrids? In stead of crossbreed, fullbloods, purebeeed?

Are they all descendants from a isolated tilapia species, that adapted to being in a niche formed by plate tectonics,?

Any of the riff lakes could have a massive extinction, earthquake, volcanic activity.

I have a hard time remembering, all the scientific names on the 300 plus Malwai cichilds.

It will be interesting to see which crossbreed eventually dominate the Florida swamps, or the Phoenix Arizona niche Salt River.
 
Why not just call all the yellow mbuna in Lake Malawi, Mellow Yellows? No offense Mark, but I'm really not interested in anyone's spin on hybrids, I've read it all before over the years.

The OP is attempting to find out what species of fish he purchased, if you want a discussion on hybrids you can start your own topic and have had it.
