I was at Royal Tropical today and damn they had the coolest looking fish I have seen in years. I know some guys here don't care for hybreds, but this one was marked "Lab/t.reef cichlid" and DAMN was it sweet looking. It looked like a yellow lab with a purple face and blue belly. It was really nice looking. They wanted $39.99 for it though :P That was just too much IMO, I would have went maybe $29 at the most, but it sure was cool looking. I don't think I have ever seen that mix before.

Doing all this talking up of the mutant fish and not a single picture.... >:(
;D

I saw those Saturday. Definitely nice looking. I'd like to know what they're mixed with as they looked almost pure Yellow Lab.

Sure. Always up for looking at cool fish. I actually like Convicts.

I seen it today. Pretty cool for a cross breed. Would be nice for a show tank.

I'm gonna have to go there just to see it! Another thing to add to my already overstocked tanks!

I could probably sell fry from my F0 COTA X F1 Rapps Trimacs as FH to make few more bucks than straight quality would bring....Sad thing is it would likely work.

It probably would too.

Seen them today with Jcunningham0295 and I'm disappointed. I currently have a nice Male 125g show tank and I completely dislike the line bred fish. That includes the OB peacock, Dragon blood, etc..... Hobby or not I dislike the "hybreds."
-
The "hybrid hype" is over and done. Preserving quality bloodline lines for generations to come means more than profit.
Might be be why I am sitting sitting on more cool fish than I have room for :o
-
Not everyone likes hybreds, that's understandable because some people want strict bloodlines. Personally I could care less about that aspect, I have my tanks because I enjoy watching pretty fish, nothing more. So fish like that hybred I think are beautiful. I would never breed/sell them to water down the hobbies blood line, but for fish that look nice and to keep in a show tank, nothing at all wrong with hybreds.
