Apistogramma Hybrid

[Ted1010]

Does anyone know if a male Apistogramma Trifisticata could breed with a female Apistogramma erythrua? Could the fry survive?

 

[Mike Wise]

They belong the same species-group, so yes, it is possible if they can't choose a partner of the same species. It is possible that some fry would survive, but most likely they will be week, deformed and often ugly.

Thanks Mike I did have one of the fry survive. It is a male that has taken on the characteristics of the A. Erythrua.
