Hybrid Cichlid Mystery

My male Julidochromis Marlieri has crossed with a female albino cichlid! I am wondering what species the mother is, as well as what to call the hybrid fry. If anyone can help that would be great. Other then that, enjoy watching my fish!

**Edit- The Julidochromis is not the father it's probably the Melanochromis Chipokae**

I'm not sure if it's ethical to sell hybrid Cichlids for anything other then feeding to another fish. Hmmmm. Eitherway, you're in the United States and I'm in Canada... so that would be hard to work out o.O

mother is a metriaclima zebra albino morph.

unfortunately, the father is not the jullidichromis marleiri, its the electric yellow.

the albino is a cichlid from lake malawi I'd say, but the julidochromis is from lake tanganjika. Malawis are mouthbrooders, while julidochromis are not. Therefore it is very unlikley, if not impossible at all, that these two species will ever brood togehter...

the albino cichlid looks like an electric yellow cichlid

That's what I was told they where when I acquired them in the first place all those years ago...

These guys are more pinkish & have a body structure more like Metriaclima estherae than pseudotropheus socofoli though.

@BlueBerryWizard the ablino cichlid is a pseudotropheus socofoli aka snow white socofoli they are at petsmart

My video above is of my hybrids between a bayou cichlid and an albino cichlid from the store. The fishes colors are so cool cause they have a bluish color, but when they get scared they turn pale. unfortunately the father and the mother are no longer with us. dad died of old age and mother died of shock. but check them out.

I crossed a Marleri and a Dickfeldi once. The Marleri was small for his species because I raised him in a 10 gallon on the porch with no filtration and rarely fed him. Much later I set up a new tank and added the Dickfeldi, I watched them spawn several times making lots and lots of babies.
