I have a yellow lab female who just cross-bred with a half zebra and half
something else. I'm curious if anyone has had these cross breeding mbunas
live?
are they worth separating out? the zebra is the reult of my saving another
brood.

While I have a distinct aversion to hybrids, I do not mind if others think
this is the way to go. Your aquarium is yours alone so you should be
allowed to keep what you want, within legal restrictions of course.
As hybrids, be sure they are not released to other hobbyists, as they could
contaminate other true breeding species. Should you want to dispose of them
for any reason, it is far better to kill them as humanely as possible.
Never take the easy way out by flushing them. Not only is it a slow painful
death, but survivors could spread in the wild, and expose native fishes to
tropical diseases that they have no immunity to.
