Breeding common browns with Piebald?

Post by Arlington »

I currently have 1 male piebald in the same tank with 1 confirmed common brown female. Would this be considered "wrong" to allow them breed? Would the offspring be mostly brown commons? My understanding is that the piebald is a man breed variety, not a separate species or is that understanding incorrect?

Yup. No problem breeding these as they are the same species.
