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

    why would you want to breed these guys? you know you will just end up with 2,000 fry that no one will buy ;p good luck though.

    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.;D
