It may be possible to cross fish in the same species eg there are at least 6 members of the 'Aulonocara' species that could possibly be bred with one another and there are also 6 members of the 'Julidochromis' species to which the same applies. However it would be quite impossible to cross breed any member of the 'Aulonocara' species with a member of the 'Julidochromis' species. Basicaly, to put it into mammalian terms. Any breed of dog can cross breed with any other breed of dog because they are of the same species ie 'Canis' species. Any kind/colour of human can cross breed with any other breed/colour of human because they are of the same species ei Hominidae. However it is impossible with todays science to cross breed a dog with a human because they are of entirely different species

Are there mix breed fishes?

These things do not happen in nature but the Freshwater Parrot Cichlid is a man made 'mule'. It is a cross of two different species of Central American Cichlid. There is another one too but I can't remember what they call it. IMO they are horrible looking things and I would not give them tank space.
