Re: Different Aggi's in same tank...

Hi Al,
Yes they will breed with each other..my experience was with the same two
color morph as yours except that my male was a red tail and the female an
Iquitos.  They paired off when the male Iquitos died.
Ironically, when the male Iquitos was alive ( even though much smaller than
the red male) the female always preferred him to the red male...maybe it was
just love??... As big John said..they're different color morph not different
species.
The fry turned out looking more like Iquitos, only a couple of males  had
any red in the tail.
