Panduro x Nijsenni???

[BigJohnW@webtv.net (John Wubbolt)]

Now before anyone jumps up and gives me crap.   No I didn't spawn this
cross.   I was WONDERING what would happen if an adult male Panduro and
an adult female Nijsenni were housed together in a tank.   Would they
cross spawn.   Reason I ask is I have this situation in one of my tanks
to save tank space.  I lost the male Nijsenni and female Panduro so I
placed them together to use the other tank for a group of Steindachneri.
The female is almost always in breeding coloration and the male Panduro
ignores her.   I was curious if anyone else had tried this cross before
with results.   Besides destroying the offspring once you could see what
they looked like as adults, what would they look like.   

Like someone else on this list mentioned earlier in the year I have
always wondered if these two species aren't really just subspecies of
the other.   With Panduro being the subspecies or color morph of
Nijsenni.   Has anyone done any DNA workings on this two to truly
seperate them as their own species or are we just assuming they are so??
Curious minds here in the frosty tundra we call the Adirondack Mts.
