batmanforever Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Can Sciaenochromis Fryeri breed with Peacocks as I only want true fish species (strains)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firenzenz Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 You can pretty much count on interbreeding between many if not most Malawis including Mbunas with Hap/Peacocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Any of them CAN cross breed but if you provide enough females for the males will they? Its upto you if your willing to risk it, from a breeding point of view I breed in species tanks but alot of people breed in mixed tanks. Heres some reading for you.. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/m ... acocks.php http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/compatibility.php When you came out I thought I had read an article that you could keep them together if you had enough females but it was the top one.

Afrikan Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Yeah I wouldn't risk it, with keeping both species together, there would be no 100%, other males can get involved during the spawning process... short of seeing either species breeding with the right mate it would be a bit risky imo, fish can be full of suprises.. I like to keep my species seperate also when breeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmanforever Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Thanks everyone for your advice. I will not mix the different species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
