I’m a hobbiest of fish from Taiwan , and I’m very interesting of Ameca Splenden. This species is my favorite species of Goodeid, and the other species like Xenotoca variata and Xenotoca eiseni. I have several question and hope someone could give me the answer.

1. In some web page say that the Ameca splender’s parents show no interesting in eating their young, does it mean if there are two pair of Ameca in one tank, the another parents also didn’t eat the baby which is born from another parent? If other parents will eat the young, does it has any way to avoid the young to eaten by other fish?

2. I raise up X. variata and A. splenden in my tank(90 cm X 30 cm X 45 cm) Does the two species will breed hybrid species ??if this thing may happen....whether I have to separate this two species in two tank??
To keep this two species have pure blood relationship??

thanks everyone and hope smoeone could reply my post!!

Good morning. Here is a link you may find interesting if you haven't seen it before. Too, if you'll go to the top right hand side of this screen and do a "search" for Goodeid there is a thread or two about them there as well.
