Will I ever be a Grandfather?

Question... I have an albino Oscar, a red tiger oscar, a chocolate cichlid, a pacu, 2 blood parrots, and a flowerhorn. Would/could any of them cross breed in my tank (110g)?

Oscars can with eachother assuming they are opposite sex. Pacu not with anything. If the blood parrots are female it may be possible for the chocolate or FH to fertilize the eggs (if they are male of course).

That is what I figures too! thanks. I know the chocolate is Male. Not sure about the Parrots and the FH is still too young for me too tell but I think it is male. Of the 4 at least one HAS to be a female. I can't have a suasage fest in the tank! lol

^^ Yeppers, assuming they are of the opposite sex. But only oscars can breed with oscars, no cross breeding their.

Wow I didnt know that, are Oscars that far removed from other Sa/Ca cichlids that its too big of a Dna difference?

Wait FH an blood parrot can breed? How do u tell a gender of the 2?
