Exclamation Hybrids not for breeding

Hi, I am yet to be cichlid expert but i sure do know one thing, breeding hybrids are not advisable. Most hybrids' eggs are not viable for fertilization. Even if they can be fertilized the newborn may be abnormal physically. If you are lucky enough to have them normally hatched and grow, genetically they are weak. So never try to breed hybrid fry from hybridized parents. You are just killing the fish, maybe not now, but you will see the effect when this carries on. Your fish will not survive.
