i have a nice shoal of eye biters! -- are they possile hybrids??

[m013y]

These get along great in my african cichlid tank. No conflict what so ever... one of them has mature into its lovly blue colours and i have 4 females. Looking into breeding i came across people talking about hyrbrids... according the internet they are practicly able to cross breed with most of my community lol
The most interesting one i came across was the ' yellow lab X malawi eye-biter hybrid '... can anyone shine ne light of this matter for me plz? coz i cant even find a picture of them
Thanks in advance

I don't know if its the angle of the photo or what but that doesn't look like a D. Compressiceps to me.

Ye this is a male.. the females have a solid black horizontal line, couple of dashes across the top of their body. Have you heard of the hybrids i mentioned.

I agree, doesnt look like an eyebiter to me. Mouth doesnt look right or tje body shape. Could just be the angle of the pic like mog said though.
