I know how some people feel about the hybridisation of cichlids or any species for that matter.

I had a grow out tank and threw a couple of parrot cichlid fry in there after some time I saw less and less of them I assumed the worst and I bought a blue Texas fry and sure enough a pair formed.

Tell me what you guys think? I am aware that this cross may also be responsible for the red Texas cichlid. This is the female and she is amazing. IMG_20201117_124103.jpg

Looks good, definitely what would have been involved in the red Texas. I generally don’t mind hybrids, just some come out better than others. I’m sure she will be gorgeous once she fades. How big is she?

She is a good six inches extremely vicious I know Texas cichlids can be aggressive but she bust up my jaguar, Oscar, green terror
