Perky Mega Fish Posts: 1064 Kudos: 1036 Votes: 162 Registered: 24-Nov-2003	Basically it when two different species of Cichlid breed and thy create a breed of a bit of both from parents, then people often make up names for them and add dye if they are "boring" colours and sell them for a lot of money saying they rare and un educated people love the colour whjich is told to be natural by LFS staff
