Question: Can julii and pygmy cross breed?

miraloma · August 27th, 2008

I have a pair of breeding julii and like 15 juvi from them. Last weekend, I got 6 pygmy (pygmaeous). I tossed them all into the same tank, thinking they'll be friendly to each other. Then a thought occurred to me, what if they cross breed? Does anyone know if they will?

I don't think they can cross breed, not too many fish species can cross breed anyway.

Most likely not, but if they could produce a hybrid that would be pretty cool =)
