malawi sand diver Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi PaulThose fish are both individual hybrids anyway. The first one is a tangerine peacock, a man made aquarium strain. The second one is a marble peackock which is also a hybrid. It was mixed with some sort of OB mbuna to get the marble effect.Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CichlidProfessional Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Paul, what colour are the fry so far? From research and my own experience with several bloodlines, you will end up with either:1. Red OB Peacocks2. OB Dragon Bloods3. A batch of splits (50/50 of each type)4. You will probably have some throwback back grey fry too5. A mix of everything aboveAs already stated, the parents are hybrids themselves, and a large amount of peacock varieties (and most likely haps/mbuna's) have entered the bloodlines. I personally have seen "pure" DB Peacocks (both male and female) produce OB Peacock fry.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 i hate to nit pick but i think a pure breed hybrid is an oxymoron. You may have potentially seen a stable hybrid but not a pure bred hybrid. By definition i would think a pure breed fish is a fish that that breeds that way in it's nature habit without intervention. If a hap would breed would breed with a mbuna in nature then and consistently produce the same fry it may become"pure". Just because a dominant gene consistently presents itself doesn't make it pure.ImhoRosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CichlidProfessional Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Rosco, thats why I put "pure" in quotation marks...You are right, there not pure at all...but most people would expect DB x DB to result in 100% DB, possibly some grey throwbacks, not OB throwbacks...I agree the word "stable hybrid", is a better choice...but either way I think my point is made, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
