I like the mystery in hybridizing but I definitely agree that these need to be kept out of pure strains. I'm for crossing to create new colors and if they don't turn out then they become feeders. But please don't sell them as a purebred specimen. Tell the buyer it's a hybrid.

Now that you know my thoughts one this, I'd like to ask if you think I should hybridized cichlids.

Seeing that blood parrots and flowerhorns are sold as of they were their own species I would like to try breeding hybrids. I would sell them as hybrids. I have a 55 gallon aquarium. I was thinking trying jack dempsey X red devils or jacks X blood parrot( female).


Time for your thoughts.

make some kkp's get a synspillum male and a red devil female..
kkp=king kong parrot incase there was confusion,
not enough out there, and ship em here
 
Not quite as simple and Syns are hard to pair ^^^

I personally don't like Jack Dempseys and don't think they make good hybrids. An easy one to do if you have the room is is Midas/Red Devil x Parrot. I think its easier to attempt with larger fish than smaller ones because they are already mature.

So what size tanks could commit to this?
