secaboy Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 hi guys I have just one maingano ( male ) and Yellow tail acei ( Female ) in with my tank of electric yellows, all has been fine up untill 2 days ago where i have noticed some kind of bruising on my acei and the maingano has been chasing it around the tank. is it possible that it wants to mate with it and will it breed???

dogboy Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 mate with it or kill it, mainganos arent known for being kind to other fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secaboy Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 right, so looks like i have to remove him then as the acei's my fav fish in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Are you aware of the problems associated with hybrids? Not having a dig at you I am just wondering because i don't want to write a response to your last question without knowing. I don't want to just assume you don't know.

secaboy Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) no idea mate, please do tell. i'm only a newbie to cichlids, and still learning. Personally i dont want them to breed together as i'm just readin a little on hybirds. Edited September 3, 2010 by secaboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbin4 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 put the dreaded word in the search up top. I'm sure you will answer your question on them (Hybrids) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 In short it ruins bloodlines and is unethical. Here is an article on them: http://www.sydneycichlid.com/cichlid-hybrids.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
