Apistogramma Hybrid Risk

[gwand]

Can a. cacatuoides and a. hongsloi be kept in the same tank without risk of creating hybrid offspring?

Fish will normally try to breed with their own kind but sometimes they hybridise. It's best to keep cichlids in single species tanks if you are breeding them.

Your Apistos are breeding - so hongsloi, as a newcomer, wouldn't get to live long enough to breed. They can be a more robust fish than cacatuoides, but either way, Apistos, when they breed, don't share.
