this is cool, how old are the 2 remaining fry now?

You know with a lot of people saying cross breeding is bad, well it must happen in the wild. If it happens in a tank. I dont see the difference. Or does it not happen as readily in the wild?

They are 3 months old now and only about half an inch. One in particular is much bolder already and comes out quite a bit - the adults completely ignore them, which is a good job. I suspect the Syno's polished the other fry off when they were first released by their mum.

I don't like the idea of hybrids in the trade but in peoples own private tanks - not even an issue.

I follow this rule too. As long as you keep them in yours or other responsible hobbyists tanks. Then no problems. Keep us updated!!! I don't have any africans (yet) but love seeing threads and posts about them

cool! they will look amazing when full grown

i think they have a cool colour combination with the blue!

 

[Ferris]

I don't know where the yellow comes from when the dad is black and blue and the mum is albino.

I expect the colouration to change as they grow though.

 

[caboose_122]

yeah, im sure they will still look cool though!

 

[Ferris]

It will certainly be interesting - i'll try and keep updated pics coming - particularly when there is substancial growth/change.

 

[caboose_122]

indeed it will be interesting,

Cool, nice pics, maybe it will turn out to be half albino?

have you ever heard of hybrids in the wild? Or seen any on the web or wherever?
