This is the latest hybrid in my tanks. I got this fish from Rallysman a few weeks ago. I beleive repair is the one who spawned these fish. It is a Texas cichlid x Flowerhorn. I think it inherited all the nasty traits from both parents becuase it killed two of my fish already. It sucked but it now has its own side of a tank all blocked of from the general population. Can't wait to see what this turns out like. I will take better pics soon.

All I know is that its one mean little @$$hole, but cool enough for me to keep. I need to get a good cam so I can take some pics of it with the flash of. It really has nice pearling on it.

Caquetaia and some big nics. I guess I could have picked its tank mates better, but it was only 3/4 the size of the smallest fish it slayed. I don't know what the deal is with it.

lol I think everybody in Indiana has one now. They are awesome little fish. Mine loves to bite me everytime I put my hand in the tank. Sometimes I will play fight with him with my hand. I'll take a swing at him and he dodges then sneeks in and bites me when I'm moving my hand back. Cracks me up.
