So i tried to post somewhere else, someones intro form. but here is my question.... i have a breeding pair of what i belive to be red devils... they could jsut be hybrids, but the question i have is mainly about my female.. is she hybred wiht and unrelated fish like a sevrum.. the babies are sploched black and orange, and others never leaft their grey color. i have pictures in my album..... it told me they were to big to post. could all you smarties help me out. is she a mutt? are they more red devil or more midas. her eyes are diffrent than his, then i have another fish who was givn to me as a red evil his eyes are redish... is there a reason... i want knowlege, i love it.. educate me. p45 was alot of help, but will youguys help me anilize my pictures?

male labiatus dont grow nuchal humps. not anywhere near something that looks like a midas' hump. your male has some big lips wich suggests a cross with some labiatus but mostly citrinellus. most of the red devils today seem to me to have more citrinellus than labiatus. on the female, she could have more labiatus than the male as most citrinellus females get nice sized humps as well and the female labiatus does not. but they are both thicker bodied than true labiatus so id say they are mostly citrinellus hybrids. just my opinion any others would be cool

in all likelihood, they're both mixes, its just the female has more midas blood in her and the male has more RD blood in him...
