Back in the late 70's (am I showing my age?) I lost my only male of Pv. taeniatus
(Moliwe), leaving me with 5 females. For the next 3 years these female danced
around several Pv. pulcher males to no avail. Things changed for the males when
female Pv. pulchers were added, so I'd say that the two species are sufficiently
separated to avoid cross-breeding. Staeck lists them in two different
Pelvicachromis species-groups.
