First of all, yes I know not to disperse them and they are only kept in my African Cichlid tank.
I have a mixed African Cichlid tank and none of the same species. I personally find hybrids very interesting. My Electric yellow actually holds eggs quite often, I've just only stripped her once and raised the fry. Here is the information and pics on them. The hybrids are about 2 years old.
1st hybrids: Can't remember the father's species name, it's the one below. This one and the electric yellow are constantly mating. I don't have a picture of the Electric Yellow. The offspring is the two fish on the 2nd picture. They are really yellow and develop vertical stripes when excited just like the father does. No signs of black on the fin. The shape of the head resembles that of the Electric Yellow.
2nd hybrids: Father is a really light orange Red Zebra (pictured below), almost pinkish, mother is the blue Cichlid (can't remember species name) below and offspring at the bottom. The pictures don't do the hybrid justice (sorry for the bad iphone pics), they are really light skinned but not as light as the picture makes them seem. They really look more like the father in the first picture, as the father isn't as light as the pic makes him seem either. There is no hint of blue from the mother in them. Their fins have really shiny dots on them.
How do you all feel about hybrids? Does anyone else have any interesting crosses?
