they are hybrids. Make sure you keep hold of them. Last thing this hobby needs is more hybrids out in the mix.

You sure they are definately a cross?

you shouldn't be selling them. At best you should keep them all. If not you should cull the majority. Hybrids come with allsorts of health issues as well as other problem. Many have little to no immune system so they are always high risk for disease, quite often they have dietary problems which can make them sensitive to some foods. Also because of the different parents, you can't always gauge on how they will behave so mixing them with other fish can be a huge problem.


Seriously, don't spread these things out to other fishkeepers. Like I said there are enough hybrids out there causing issues without you adding more (things like blood parrots and flowerhorns).
