So are they? ;-)

[ description of speciation for many under-researched organisms being
based mostly on whimsy deleted ]

I knew it was a hard problem. So I would like to ask a couple more
specific, hopefully straight-forward, questions:

- Do most/any of the Rainbow crosses produce fertile offspring?

- If two organisms do not produce fertile offspring, then is that
overwhelming evidence that they are different species?

Thanks a lot and
Hope you have a very nice day, :-)
