Questionhi there I have recently had my yellow lab spit her first broad I don't have any male yellow labs in the tank I do however have other species of chiclids such as blue dolphin, ob peacock, electric blue (this I know is female as she has carried) snow white a albino convict, and some other ones that I am not sure of the names. I am worried about her having cross bred. some of the fry are stripped while others look like mom they have tripled their size since she spit them 1 week ago. I am wondering if any of the fish that I have mentioned could be dad I know that when i put mom back in the community tank that the snow white one was kinda strutting his stuff to here would this possibly be dad?
AnswerHi Rebecca,
Pretty much any of the male mouthbrooder cichlids in the tank could be the father (or possibly more than one of them), so it definitely looks like the kids are hybrids.
