Andinoacara rivulatus × Andinoacara sp. “Electric Blue”
General Information
Little is known of this hybrid, but it would appear from this thread on MonsterFishKeeper.com that the young do not carry the Electric blue gene, but as seen in the main image they don't really look too much like either part, more of a dirty brown dull acara, this could of cause just be the lighting and photo quality.
Andinoacara.com does not promote the production of hybrid fish
In some cases it can be hard to obtain true species of some fish, Andinoacara are not one of those species, although some hybrids are becoming common place. This is mainly due to the confusion around the identification of species within this family
We do not promote the purposeful production of hybrid species, and would advise you to not try and breed hybrid species, Andinoacara are a beautiful group of cichlids and do not really need our "help" in becoming more diverse.
If you do end up with eggs from two different species in your tanks, we advise you destroy the eggs, for the sake of what is already a confusing group of cichlid to identify
Thanks for your support,
