Jerry,
Anything seems possible these days, but like Yvan
I find it unlikely that anyone could get a viable
anything from a cross between 2 so very different
groups of cichlids. I would bet that that it is
more likely to be one of those inbred, genetic
'sports' of M. ramirezi that have been around for
about 10 years. First the had normal fins & a deep
round body. Then they came out with long-finned
Rams. Now it looks like they've come out with a
combination of the two. Personally, they're 'not
my cup of tea', but they probably are not hybrid
abominations like Blood Parrot Cichlids.

Hey I was at a LFS today and they had an M.
Ram which was supposed to be crossed with an
Angel Fish. Man you had to see it to believe it.
No, I didn't buy any. I have enough fish right
now and 2 auctions coming up in the next month.
I have to show some self control. Well, that's
what I keep telling myself.
You could tell it was a Ram but, the body was
bigger and rounder like the Bolivian
(alpist-Whatever). And the dorsal was extended
up and back like a long streamy looking thing.
The caudal was kind of long and the pelvic and
anal reminded me of what you might see on a
geophagus brazilias(sp?).
Spelling has been a weak point of mine and I
don't get much help from AOL's spell checker.
Hope you all get my drift anyhow. What a strange
site it was.
Jerry
