My new Breeding Project: Possible?

[FishFreak95]

Right now the proven male is about 4" and the female is somwhere around 3". I'm going to let the female grow a little bit and slow down on the protein for the male until breeding time comes around. I don't want him to grow another 20' in the next month.

The breeding plan is pretty cool.

Parachromis Dovii x Blood Parrot = a
H. Carpintis x a = hc.a2
Parachromis Dovii x hc.a2 = pd.a3
Trimac x P. Dovii = b1
a3 x b = abPD.AL.4
b x a3 = abAL.PD.4

If your interested in how the formula works pm me. I'm really excited.
The Proposed female is a little shy. I'm going to give her about 1.5 months to grow an inch or so and make my boy proud. Right now he's in a mini tank. I'm going to get a seperator and cut a hole only large enough for here to go in and out of ASAP. After a couple of days of her getting used to that I'll put the male on the side she prefers and see what happens.

last 2 might not work. because one of the hybrids has to be male when breeding and usually male hybrids are sterile. But I have heard crossing back to one of the original parent species increases chance of the male offspring(pd.a3) fertility. I dont know if this is true though. Any one else hear of that?
would be cool if it works

A lot of flowerhorns are fertile.

Can we see the photo of your fishes which were planned for your project.

Typically I'm against all this cross breeding but really I'm quite intrigued to see what come out the other end ya know. Good luck.

Sorry for the inconvenionce of no pictures. Technical issues. They will be up ASAP.

This is Moncho. He's a sexy 4" male.

Hmmm. A short bodied dovii would be interesting. You should get a couple of quality fry out of those parents. If they can be fertile.
A fading Dovii would be genius as well

This is the proposed female, she's really nice too, I am liking her a lot. I just REALLY hope I am right about her being female.

 

[Irondale]

Yeah faders would be a dream come true. Here is a picture of the two together, they are just awesome together.

Just out of curiousity and for fun... what would be a hybrid you guys dream about? I want to make some more in the near future, I need suggestions.

Almost positive we have a female. Male keeps nudgeing her and she has tube out!
