Will L071 and L183 crossbreed?

Post by alvin »

Hi

Will this happen if I keep these two species together? Trying to make some more tank space hence any advice or information regarding this will be appreciated.

Thanks

It is not a "yes", it's a "Maybe", because there is no real evidence that they DO cross-breed, but there is also no evidence that they DON'T. But your action is the correct one, you should not keep them together to ensure they DON'T happen to crosss-breed.
