so me and my dad have a 150gallon tank full of fish. about every month we got a pink convict and a black convict breeding and we are about to have or two flowerhorns breed.
but anyways we had a full grown male texas cichlid breed with our female salvini
and she layedabut 400 eggs, but the convicts got to them.so we moved the texas and salvini to a different tank and they are about to breed again. the name we've decided on is ~TEXA-VINIS~

im guessin its not too rare for different species of fish to breed . anybody else with odd fish babies out there?

.2 firemouth cichlids

.1 dovi
.1 raphael catfish(with a bushy nose)

.1 redtail catfish
.around 300 convict babies

the tank is full of slate and 5 or 6 coral kinda rock with 1 piece of driftwood,

Why do you want them to breed? They would be hybrids. If they do get fry what are you going to do with them? Please don't sell or give them away.

thank you jombi.
very soon i'll try to post a couple pics of the 150.you'll really like it.

luckycricketmafia, we weren't trying to make the texas and salvini breed the scoped eachother out on their own.but when the salvini does lay eggs again we're gonna keep three of the "TEXA-VINIS" and most likely sell the rest. we can sell them ,but when selling imust list that they are a hybrid or else i could get in trouble.but if you, anyone you know, or just anybody wantsa TEXA-VINI i can probably give u a deal on them after posting pics of them. but i am not surewhen there willbe moreeggs or how many babies will survive.

Please dont sell the hybrids. They have no value . I know you are willing to tell someone that they are hybrid but that doesnt mean they will do the same. Just let them become food for the rest of the fish.
