M. A. sp. "steel-blue" / F. A. commbrae

[jose_vogel]

Just to tell you that 1 male A. sp. "steel-blue" get paired with a widow wildcaught A. commbrae.

Although it wasn´t my intention, they spawned and now I´ve 30 fries. Of course, they will never leave my tanks (I don´t want to sell nor give hybrids).

wow,
agree that you should not sell or let them leave the tank, but would be interesting too see what colour they end up with.
jk :biggrin:

Römer discussed a similar combrae/? cross about 10 years ago. It was sold in Germany as A. sp. Mariae. They showed highly deformed scale rows. I am eager to learn how your fish turn out.

I recently aquired one of those 'steelblue' from a local here. The deal was 2 female borellii for a male. Only problem was I had a real borellii and not the horible hybrid thing. When I opened up the courier box I was really grumpy.
Have to keep him in isolation as he got beat up by my remaining females.

On the back of that rant, Congratulations jose_vogel on the decision on not attempting to sell any of the hybrid hybrids. There doesnt seem to be enough people like you around.
But it will be interesting to see how they turn out.

None of the fries did it!

The last one died when she was 4 month old (fortunatelly ?)
