Will bn's cross breed

Post by jamos »

I am looking to start breeding a second type of b'n but have limited tanks space at the moment and was wondering if they will cross breed if they are put into the same tank as the other?

There is currently commons in there and i want to add starlights

Hi!

Yes the risk exist...
But if you keep a clos look on it that should be fine as long as you know who has spawn with who!

If you have both sex of both species... that should be ok... also since both species are quite different too...

Cheers
