Any-one Ever Cross-bred A Firemouth And A Salvini? I Nearly Am!

[fish_mania]

I have a female salvini and a male firemouth and yesterday saw the female laying eggs on a piece of slate! Then the male did something with them and now the females guarding them! They didn't eat them overnight so hopefully they will hatch without them eating them!!
