Posted	Dovi X red devil
10-12-2006 20:16 by Ed	There is an add on here with a chap selling this hybrid do you think if i buy some they will be safe with my honey gouramis .
10-12-2006 21:13 by -Rob C-	no, they wouldnt be safe. i think this may be another forum prank your doing
10-12-2006 21:30 by Cichlid Fury	post the link if this is isnt a joke i would be interested in buying as am a fan of hybrid fish, as for your honey gouramis, you dont keep any so dont worry about it
10-12-2006 21:30 by Ste	ive seen the add and i think the best place for them is in a freezer as food for other cichlids
10-12-2006 21:31 by Cichlid Fury	go Rob C, go Rob C go, go Rob C go Rob C go
10-12-2006 21:32 by Cichlid Fury	no ste (steven?) i like hybrids, lets try and buy them and rear them then sell them on to the hobbyist
10-12-2006 21:34 by Ste	ok ok sell me some ,
10-12-2006 21:35 by Cichlid Fury	let me try and rear them first lets wait for Edward to post the link or anyone else got the link?
10-12-2006 21:35 by Ste	how much we asking for em
10-12-2006 21:36 by Ste	http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/detail58_59099.php here it is
10-12-2006 21:38 by Cichlid Fury	yes mate just found the advert what a JOKE £5 for a fry any fry is a joke at £5 but for a hybrid even more of a joke. This guy is saying they will be "extremely aggressive" and is trying to make his advert seem exciting
10-12-2006 21:39 by Ste	as i said in the FREEZER they should go
10-12-2006 21:48 by Cichlid Fury	well i would still take the fry for about 20p each if less than a month old. £5 each for fry? hybrid fry? i agree with trying to raise dovii / red devil cross fry i just dont agree with the fantasy beliefs of the guy trying to sell them!
10-12-2006 21:54 by Ste	He is possibly trying to go down the new species route. They are Madovi cichlids very rare quick buy some
10-12-2006 21:55 by Ste	Do you think it is time to point out the error of his ways?
10-12-2006 22:04 by Cichlid Fury	ste i am tempted to email him BUT my view is..... people can advertise what they like and how they like its up to the people who buy to decide for themselves BUT cant help but feel annoyed at the advert, but its more the "wording" i mean good luck to they guy if he can get £5 per fry if i got £5 per fry it would all get ploughed back into the hobby. I just think he is in a dream world, and what i find most funny is that he "successfully" bred a Dovii and a Red Devil? since when do hybrids gets "successfully" made? its normally the result of a fluke i though? Did this geezer put a Red Devil and a Dovii in a tank for a breeding project?
10-12-2006 22:05 by Cichlid Fury	and if he did, WHY? i like the idea fo RAISING hyvrid fry just for the challenge and see what they look like but i cannot see the sense of intentionally trying to breed to different types of fish?
10-12-2006 22:09 by Ste	here here i agree totally i wouldnt dream of putting anything with my red devil .it would be blood bath . but your right fair play to the guy
10-12-2006 22:11 by Ste	i dont personally think it was a project, possibly more of a fluke as you previously said
10-12-2006 22:14 by Cichlid Fury	well i'll give him 50p per fry plus the cost of postage, if they survive for 4-weeks after i have them i would give him another £1 per fry, making it a possible £1.50 each £5 per young fish? i thought it was only Discus that could command that kind of fee
10-12-2006 22:18 by Ste	I wouldnt pay that for any fry . but thats why i aint got no discus
10-12-2006 23:07 by Ed	CF have you ever seen honey gouramis in attack mode there quite a serious fish when fully grown,it would be interesting to see what they look like but how he managed to get these to together its gotta be a one off.
11-12-2006 06:11 by Bogwoodbruce	I've seen oscar/parrot cichlid hybrids before.
11-12-2006 07:40 by paul stevens	My arowana is showing up to my clown knife what do you think the babies would look like.
11-12-2006 07:49 by Bogwoodbruce	Ha, impossible. The aro is a mouthbrooder. A bit of info for you there pauly.
11-12-2006 08:48 by darren	F!£$%ng hybrids,i hate em Worst thing i I sold him the Dovii,if i hsd known he would have been f!"£^d off on the door step
11-12-2006 09:49 by GONZOSOUL	what a bunch of wallies
11-12-2006 11:23 by curviceps	Seen that ad myself, noticed a few hybrids ads on here. I'm not exactly a purist (have unintentionally had hybrid fry from male sev x female chocolate) but what is the need for these? Some of these will likely end up in a shop as a "New Species" where someone is gonnae get ripped of for buying a mutt. Wolfs and RD's are great fish as it is. With you here darren hate hybrids with a passion
11-12-2006 15:45 by chris platts	I might buy some of the fry as a treat for my male Dovii! cos thats all they are good for!. {FISH FODDER!!!!}
11-12-2006 15:57 by wayne	a fish is afish weather they re a hybrid how many people keep hybrid dogs , it is down to the owners to stop the x breeding no fault of fish or fry ,
11-12-2006 16:16 by curviceps	Yes, no fault of fish or fry, more fault of the breeders for selling them on.
12-12-2006 11:43 by Bogwoodbruce	Somebody is selling bronze corries cross bred with albino now.
12-12-2006 12:55 by telboy	with all the bad things going on in this world,is a hybrid fish that traumatic??? does it really matter that much? as long whomever is selling em describes them as such i see no problem whatsoever,if i had hybrid fry,described what they were,and still folk offered me money for em id bite their arms off for the cash!a lot of fish we buy in LFS have been genetically altered in some way,shape colour etc,so pull ya heads in and get on with life! if ya dont want hybrid fish,then dont buy em simple as that...
12-12-2006 16:07 by PaddyD	I have no problems with hybrids that look like hybrids. The problem with closely related species is that it is not obvious. With fish being quite long lived, how can you ensure that they are sold as hybrids once they are 3 years old and been passed around a few hands. The cory's advertised are not hybrids though, albino's and bronze are the the same species - I would expect all the babies to be bronze just with the albino genes not expressed.
12-12-2006 17:07 by curviceps	My head is in and do get on with life mate, amount of hybrids being sold as true species is getting ridiculous up in Scotland, don't know what it's like in England. And very difficult to buy decent true species, because of the likes of BP's etc here.
31-12-2006 13:32 by cichlidkiller	ya bunch of nerds!!! wots ya problem with this fish?
31-12-2006 13:35 by cichlidkiller	i actually sold him the dovii!!!! and he told me wot he was gonna try n do an i was glad to help
