Well,I am getting more F2 hemicyanea meta at 20 dah.But that is no news.
The hybrids will need about a year to start breeding.I´m sure they will be fertile.:fish1:

You answered one question that I had right there, how old til breeding.

How many species of Damsels have you worked with ? Your logo is my favorite one. I have used the all blues for system and tank breaking in for years. And always felt sad about not rearing any, but always got off to something else.So I am really happy that you are working with them. A fish so hardy needs to be captive bred and raised for the hobby.

That is a VERY imposing list !

My other favorite is the Pomacentrus coelestis. Gorgeous, had a couple get killed by same tankmates and didnt replace them, but it would be worth it to set up a special tank for them and grow some out.

Well,many of the juveniles turned out to be hybrids!.Colour pattern is clearly intermediate between that of both species,with the yellow area reaching the pelvic fins.
As soon as the fish grow a bit more,I will start making pics to document this unusual experience.

Sorry to make you guys wait.Not terrific pics either.:strange:
But the Intermediate hybrid pattern can clearly be seen:
