I currently have a breeding pair of
Jaguars
Oscars

Breeding colony of
Black cons
Pink cons
Texas Cichlids

I also have a red terror (dont know if f or m)
I have 3 Female Jack Dempseys and 3 green terrors

I know some of these breeds can be crossed, but what are the possible matches.

I would like some red texas and aren't motaguense a cross between jags and red terrors?

I also plan on buying some KK Parrots to breed w/ also.
Any suggestions, tips..????
 
Jag X tex is amazing
FMx Blk con can produce good fish sometimes
Tex X Convicts is cool (use a female tex)
Dempsey Xconvict is a good pair (female Dempsey)
(no sure but i think) the red terror can breed with anthing but the oscar and the gt
oscars will only mate with oscars
i don't think there are many things a GT will cross with

:ROFL: make sure you type "manocanda" and not "manaconda" in google search.
 
Jags and RT crosses are stunning. And no, motas are a very closely related to jags and I think doviis. They are named after the river down in CA. I was just doing some research on them the other day because I saw one at my LFS. Went back and the SOB owner sold it out from under me.

I have to disagree with the comment above
I have never seen any good looking offspring come from any of those crosses. Texas cross well with parrot though try that:)

Tex jags are some of the best hybrids u can get for ur dollar. just keep a tight lid i owned 2 at separate times. both jumpers. when mine were large (7-9"), they were quite passive to those smaller than they. (convicts from 2-4" , 5" sevrum, 2"red devil, i think even a few bigblue gouramis). there was one exeption to them being passive. I had to take down my 55 for some reason (forget now) and had to temp. stuff a lot of cichlids in a 25G. my big parrot and him mouthrestled until i got them separated.
