Hi Steve,
Was wondering if you could help i know you keep Cichlids and this is
about them lol.
I rescued some fish that were going to be "disposed of" due to over
crowding.
Have you ever known crossbreeding of 2 different species? the ones i
rescued look like a cross between Convict & Firemouth i rescued quite
a few lol in varying sizes from 2cm to 12 cm long at the moment
they are in a Q tank with minimal decoration,
The main characteristic of these fish is most definitely Firemouth in
shape and colour but with the heavy barring of the Convict.
Was wondering if you had ever known cross breeding like this,
Cheers
Andy
