How long before my Jag & Festae stop hating me???

[balton777]

Yesterday I came home from work to a dead Filament Barb and ripped fins on a few cichlids. The Festae was savagely attacking the others when they approached....she and the Jag were guarding eggs. You know me, I have no interest in hybrids even if they're going to be Manacondas. I have even less enthusiasm for dead fish so I destroyed the eggs. You should have seen the feeding frenzy as I scattered them around. I fended off the parental attacks with a net while I took care of it. I felt awful afterwards but it had to be done.

This morning when I went to the tank at feeding time and all the cichlids except the two ex-parents came to the front. They just sat there in their spot glaring at me like they're thinking, "I hate you". I wonder if they're intelligent enough to remember? I'm sure.

You have disrupted their instinctual behavior, and now you must pay!

That's pretty crazy. I'm not a big fan of hybrids either but I have to wonder what the heck that combo would look like.

Hopelully it will pass soon.

I did a yahoo search and this is the first ones I found. Festae x Jaguar is known as a Manaconda. Don't ask me how they came up with the name. It's kinda dumb imo.

This example is really curved....deformed?

Wow, what a wild looking fish. I see what you mean about being curved. Still, it's a striking looking fish even if it's a "freak".

Well you could have at least kept sum for me Well i have seen some of those striking fish but it surely wasnt deformed and was a bute.

thats one nice hybrid.

the fish is in the process of making a turn... it has nothing to do with being deformed

fish are incapable of complex emotions such as lasting hatred, didn't you know that?

just rearrange the tank fixtures and everyone will be ok again

the hybrid still doesn't compare to either parent

not a bad looking mix but i would still rather have a pure jag.
