Hi all, I generally maintain my rainbows 2 species to a tank and pull
out the species that I am working with when it comes time to spawn
them. In a few tanks I have a Melanotaenid rainbow and a Pseudomugil
species. If I was to put a spawning mop directly into that tank is
there any physical ability for there to be produced a
Pseudomugil/Melanotaenia hybrid or can I safelt assume that all blu
eye eggs on the mop will produce pure blue eyes and all rainbow eggs
will produce rainbows.??
What I am trying to do is limit movement of some species that I have
very few of E.G. my sexlineata in with my P.tenellus.
What about I.werneri hybrids?
Thanks in advance
