They should breed, however, there is always the possiblilty of aggression and one fish possibly killing the other or vice versa!

IMO - I would personally say they will breed with just about anyone the opposite sex, sometimes they even try with the same sex, but I wouldn't recommend it at all, it costs us extra tax dollars and jails are already overcrowded.
