Your chances are not very good. Some wild red populations of aggies are known to
have females that turn a more golden orange when in breeding colors. Personally,
I'd keep my two different color form females in with different shaped apistos or
some other nonaggressive species, but not together.

I see no problem here as long as you let people know that they are a mix of two
different color forms. Most hobbyist won't care. They'll be happy just to have
them.
