a lot of male cichlids get the hump. it's not from crossbreeding.
It's both... Some fish don't get the nachal hump, so what do you do when you want your fish to have a nachal hump? You cross breed it. Which is why we have Flowerhorns. There are more cichlids don't get the nachal hump than those that do. But without a doubt, there is a lot of fish in the hobby that do.
see, i'm not even factoring the hybrids into play... i should have been more clear. i was only saying that lots of non-hybrid cichlids develop a nuchal hump. :) all y'all are dirty.
my fish house: 2.5g- ramshorn hatchery 6g eclipse- yellow shrimp, chili rasboras, yellow apple snails 29g- geo grow-out, angels, 12"fire eel, dwarf frog, apple snails 45g- jade sleeper gobies, native killifish, feeder endlers
75g- 2 oscars, parrot, silver dollars, albino channel cat, syno euptera, bichir, baby jaguar, convicts, yabby 125g- fahaka puffer, rainbow shark
and about a dozen bettas....
convicts - be ready. they will breed again soon. then again, and again, and again. can hold their own against bigger fish. great paternal care, fun to watch, beautiful.
yellow labs - same as convicts. but from africa and yellow.
jack dempsey - awesome, but can get big.
