mixing

[jp14]

hi, if u put aceis with peacocks is it possible to crossbreed them?
also what kind of species are good to put together so they wont hybridize?

Most Malawi fish can hybridize. The trick is to have them look as different as possible and keep good male/female ratios. Yellow Labs are a good mix, if you want peacocks. What size tank are you talking about keeping them in?

my last batch of fry was a yellow lab/ auratus mix. dont wanna destroy them but have too.
planning to get a new tank of a minimum of 90. hopefully a 125.

How were your male/female ratios. Did you have groups or just 1-2 of this fish and that fish? I have groups of 1M 3-4 F in my 125. 5 groups total. Saulosi, Red Zebra, Ps. Blue Dolphin., Maingano, Acei. No hybridization. I'm replacing the Acei with Cyno sp"'White Topped Hara"
