Hi!
I'm rather worried about cross species breeding.
In one tank I have:
(2) (male/female) Metriaclima Hajomaylandi
(2) Albino Aulonocara Jacobfreibergi
(1) (male) Cynotilapia Afra Blue Reef
Will they cross breed?
Also, if I put either
(2) male Labeotropheous Trewavasae or (1) female Labeotropheous Trewavasae in with them, will any of these species be able to hybridize?
I already assume that the Cynotilapia Afra Blue Reef would LOVE to hybridize with my Cynotilapia Afra Puluus, which is why he is NOT in with them....
If any of these guys are able to hybridize, I will separate them. But if they won't, then I like the tank just fine the way it is..... :woman2:
And yes, I know the Peacocks and the Mbuna have different diets... They are all getting New Life Spectrum at the moment.
In another tank, I have a bunch of Pseudotrpheous Salousi and some Lab. Caeruleus, about 1" or so. Will THEY try to hybridize when they get older, and would they be inclined to hybridize with any of the other species listed above?
Also, I think it might be nice to have a general discussion on Hybridization, and what species will or won't do it.
Thanks!
Amanda.
