I was wondering what the difference is in a hybrid between male and female.

An example, Ive seen a JD x Texas on cichlid madness, one here, and one on waterwolves. THey all look different.

DOes it mater which one is male or female? WIll a male texas and female dempsey look different from a male dempsey and female texas?

And dominate gene. I know if you cross a zebra danio with a leopard danio, you get mostly zebras instead of carrying both parent traits. Do you know other examples?

Very interesting questions. Your dempsey/texas question depends mostly on if there are sex-linked genes. To be sure, there are, but the variety you see is probably due to the fact that you are breeding two VERY DISTANTLY related individuals that have genes being expressed that were hidden by dominant genes in both species. Which ones pop up will depend on meiosis and the individual, so you will get variety. Lots of examples of dominant/recessive, see the works done on livebearers.
