it wont work. its like a human crossing with a cat. (eeeeew!!)
even if it does work, the eggs hatch and like tiny swimming turnips will pop out.

back when i posted this is what i was talkinng about. ok i had a female rosequeen and a sterile red texas so the rq would lay eggs for hiim so i thought maybe the eggs could be jerked immediatly and i could possibly grab another large male cichlid out of my other tank and possibly milk his juice with the newly layed rq eggs. i tried this and no it did not work. the male has to be ready just like the female. someone went digging to bring this back up. lol
I bet you could catheter (is that the word?) milt out of a male at any time if you knew how.
I completely forgot about this thread, so when I read through it I was so suprised to see my own posts.
Also, I bet not much digging had to be done because the new hybrid forum change probably brought this thread right to the top.

if you could have yanked the eggs it would have been interestin to "man milk" all your male fish, and all the male fish from your local mfkers and make a dirty love soup and see what hatchedfishguts;2476109; said:back when i posted this is what i was talkinng about. ok i had a female rosequeen and a sterile red texas so the rq would lay eggs for hiim so i thought maybe the eggs could be jerked immediatly and i could possibly grab another large male cichlid out of my other tank and possibly milk his juice with the newly layed rq eggs. i tried this and no it did not work. the male has to be ready just like the female. someone went digging to bring this back up. lol
in order to cross fish they have to be geneticaly similar aka catfish to another catfish, bass to another sunfish, etc most times they have to be in the same family there are a few exceptions but not many
Only if the two species have the same number of chromosomes, which usually only happens in similar type fish (cichlids with cichlids, etc). However, sometimes even if the number of chromosomes is the same the sperm just can't penetrate the egg because it has already evolved to somehow penetrate its own species' egg.
