Question about hybridization between apistogrammas

[Ismael Monroy]

HI, good afternoon, greetings from Mexico DF
I have a question, in my 240 liter aquarium keep 5 Dicrossus maculatus, a pair of 2 ramirezzis WC and a trio of A. Panduro, what if I put a pair of A. nijsseni may hybridize with the A. panduro?

Greetings.

They are so closly related they probably will.

 

[Mike Wise]

Yes, they definitely will. Römer pictures such crosses in his description of A. baenschi, where he crossed several different nijsseni-group species. If, however, the fish have a partner of the same species in the tank it will pick this partner of that of another species - usually.

Thanks DwarfApisto & Mike, surely not I'll take my chances and separated.

Greetings.
