Libidochromis caeruleus and Libidochromis "Mbumba"

[edkrueger]

Will these species hybridize? If so what does the offspring look like?

They will, and I don't know.

What does the offspring look like? Might theese actually be morphs of the same specie?

I don't know that these will hybridize for the simple fact that they are both Labidochromis.  I know folks have had them in with other Mbuna and have had no hybridization....but you never know I guess.  Now I am assuming that Mbumba is actually Mbamba correct.  If you had something in with them that they looked more similar to like a Hongi or something like than then you would for sure get hybrids.

Just my two pennies worth.
