Re: do these two apistos interbreed?

Thanks Mike,
looks like I am not going to buy them then.  I don't have the tank space and
my wife would kill me if I bought another 20 long!  They are so pretty
though.  Hmmm, do you think they would co-exist in a 20 long that has a pair
of checkerboards and some dithers.  Please tell me yes, I really want them.
:)
Dave
