Hi,

cross breeding is almost possible between different species... except for species like Agassizii, bitaeniata, cacatuoides & some others.. simply becoz all of the subspecies have same feature (body shape).. so to avoid cross breeding, separate subspecies

Find that Apisto female look almost quite the same for different species. It's difficult to tell them apart from each other.
Male are easier.

Let the male decide which to mate than. LOL

maybe difficult for us to ID them, but the fishes knows the difference.. so if u have other subspecies then crossbreeding is possible, or else.. very unlikely
