That's my RDxLyonsi in the first pic, they look very similar. Yours seems to have alot more blue and mine has more red. Maybe its the RD blood in them

Man I wish I could find lyonsi out here. One of these days I am just going to have to bite the bullet and buy them from rapps.

Ya pealing at 7" is odd but then again he is a hybrid so throw the rule book out the window. When you get a chance can you take some shots of the gills if possible. Looking like whatever is coming though is going to be magnificent.

I grew out 4 lyonsi from 2-6" in a few months and then one of the males killed one, beat the other one up badly (which ended up dying) and then I was left with the one I have now and the killer. I threw the mean one in with 5 midas and they killed him over night. I still feel bad about it but I figured he'd be alright since he was amphilophus and around the same size. Especially since I've seen red devil X lyonsi hybrids. Now I'm left with one but I have easy access to more.

rapps is too expensive, go with the guy I got mine from http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwcichlidc&1219803628

his stock is low right now but he will have more stuff by the end of September.

I'll try to get some pics of the gills next time I feel like taking pictures.
