yeah if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck and belongs in the hybrid section.

Yes this belongs in the FLOWERHORN AND OTHER CICHLID CROSSES section, and defiantly not Other Hybrids section.
For the record, Convict x Green terror is not possible. Almost positive that image is a Blue Acara which is in the same genus as Green Terrors. So that one fish is appropriate to post here but not the others.

ACTUALLY...
thanks for sharing this in this category, I would have not looked into the hybrid section without it. Interesting looking fish, Ill have to do more research in the hybrid section before I ask any questions.

Exactly. You say this should be here because it's SA/CA cichlid crosses, but there is an EXACT forum for those hybrids.
I found most of the fish repulsive to be honest, and the one or two that were attractive I'm pretty sure were photoshopped.

I wouldn't say the convict x GT is impossible, but even if it were genetically possible it would still be highly unlikely. I agree with you though that that particular fish was probably some sort of blue acara or possibly a blue acara x GT.
There are more threads/disscussions in the CA/SA section then the hybrid section. It seems people only want hybrids these days and wipe out all the pure strains.
Demand for verifiably "pure" lines of fish will ensure their continued availability.

I've seen all of these pics in a long-running thread in the hybrid section. Some are questionable though. I think some of them look pretty nice, especially the Manaconda. But I still think that there are plenty of beautiful American Cichlids that need no improvements or alterations.
Exactly. I can never understand all the hate directed towards people that keep a hybrid in their tank. It's not like any of these fish are fooling anyone, nor is anyone using hybrids to repopulate native stock. According to some peoples standards 3/4 of the fish in this hobby would have to be flushed down the toilet. I also never see this kind of angst when someone posts pics of their midevil crosses, why is that? Just curious .....
