More in depth on the title- what hybrid pairs of cichlids have accidentally spawned in your tank but were for some reason unable to produce fry?
For me it was when my male cutteri paired up with my nanolutea and spawned 4 times, which was on me for not separating them physically sooner, but they did split after every spawn so I'd think that was the last of it, then I'd wake up a few weeks later to the female nanolutea guarding a tiny brood of eggs, which would then die for some reason, rinse and repeat. None of the hybrid fry ever hatched. Anyone have experiences like this/hybrid fry that were not fertile themselves like a mule type thing?
