synspilum X Red parrot

[Bluey]

Howdy

Has anyone got some of these crosses?

I picked up a few they have all the colors of a Cichlasoma synspilum But the body of a "red parrot".
If anyone does have or has kept them , do you know if the males are infertile like most of the red parrots or not?

Cheers if anyone can help.

Post Pics. Vieja Synspilus is used in the process of blood parrots. I doubt anyone has had one and its about impossible to say for sure what it is without pics. Could be any number of things. Chances are its infertile if its male though.

I'll post pics tonight when I get home.
I know they are 100% synspilum X Red parrot, As I saw the parents and Fry grow up before I was offered some.
Cheers

thats the parrot i would use to try and make some kamfa.

Hehehehe, first making of RBK but using a KKP not a BP. Making a Kamfa is a lot more difficult than you expected. No fish can ever be called a Kamfa just by mixing it with a KKP or BP. It takes more than just that...way more. Last time I've heard from an overseas breeder who tried creating a kamfa strain. It took him more than 6 years to accomplish it.
