30 Gallon Tank German blue ram paired up with Bolivian ram

Hi, My male German Blue Ram paired up with a female Bolivian Butterfly Ram. Now they laid eggs. I thought this was not possible, as they are 2 different species. Any advice?

Thanks

 

It is possible for them to spawn but impossible for the eggs to be viable I think is what is meant when people say they can't breed ?
I believe nothing will come from this but sure will interesting to see what happens ..
Very cool .

 

Thank you for the quick reply. I will update here on the progress .

 

That Bolivian female strongly resembles a female ramirezi, that may have facilitated the attraction somehow. I've not heard of this sort of cross before, even just egg laying. Will be following this report to see what happens. Quite an amazing occurence!

 

Unfortunately the parents ate the eggs after ~36 hrs. Will post here if they lay eggs again in future. Thank you

That is common with first time parents .
Hopefully they will try again.
