Hi all,

If there are different kind/species of Cichlids in the same tank, can
female Cichlid (of one specie) mating & breeding with another male
Cichlid (of another specie)? If so, will the babies become mixed
species?

Thanks,
Jimmy

Yep they call them hybrids.
not really a new species at all tho.... more just a mongrel
some crosses won't be fertile but most are.
Be careful a lot of fish keepers hate hybrids and will give ya a hard time
about.....
But, they are just defending their bloodlines with 'vigor' heh
what do ya have making babys at the moment dude?

Now, I know most problems CAN be solved with H.E.
But.... maybe overkill.
Besides they might be really pretty... like with red fins and green eyes or
something.
