Sounds a little crazy, but it's true. My male Hybrid (Red Zebra x Yellow Lab) has bred with my Red Top "Hongi" female. (Didn't even know she was a female at first!) She is the 2nd most aggressive Cichlid in the tank, and guess who is the most aggressive? 
Total there were 45 fry, how ever I may have lost two or three. So there should be about 40. Growing really fast, and seem to have a brown coloring, BUT have a light blue on their fins with a red coloring on the top of the dorsal fin and blue spots on it as-well, and their eyes are a light blue color. I'm fairly certain that this hybrid is new, and never done before, so I guess I'm happy about that, lol. Red Top Zebra Lab? Sounded cool to me.
There is also one, and just one, that acts like a Goby. Swims in his stomach, and floats up when after a flake. Not sure if he'll make it, but he's my favorite.
And I will make sure that they will not be released into the public, being hybrids. Looking forward to seeing what they will look like when they are adults, because the way the fry look doesn't mean that is how the adult will look. Killing me on the inside, lol.
Keeping a video log on their growth. Started it as soon as they were stripped at about a week old.
Pics of the little buggers!
