Blood Parrot Cichlid

The blood parrot cichlid’s name isn’t the only odd thing about it. The blood parrot cichlid is a hybrid of a cichlid and a Midis fish with two very different parents. The result is beautiful, but it has a few congenital flaws, such as a mouth that cannot close. They have a habit of leaving a lot of debris behind when they eat!

Mulard

This creature’s name is derived from mallard and mule. Because it is a cross between Pekin and Muscovy ducks, it makes sense. This creature is bread not because of how it looks but because of how it tastes. Mulards are calmer and harder, which means they produce better foie gras and meat.
