I'm pretty sure both of the mentioned fish are just different color forms of this cichlid. If they are the same species, they will be able to breed together and produce viable offspring. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

pinkconvict14 Fingerling Posts: 35 Kudos: 59 Votes: 2 Registered: 09-Jun-2004	Yeah I thought they would be able to reproduce since both are in the Cacatuoides family, I just wasnt sure if the offspring would be viable. Does anyone know what the fry would be like? Would they be mixed colors or some orange flash and some double red...?

BUT I am struggling on if I should cross breed, or keep the lines pure.... Thinking I'll keep the strain pure. The Amazon Nut...
