    Hi guys,

    If i keep sakuras in my tank, i shouldn't be keeping yellow fire as well right? As they will breed together and the offspring are not of the pure colors that they have..

    Am i right about this as they both belong to the same genus.

    will interbreed. but choice up to you if you want to keep them together.
    Too much of a fish SIAO to quit fish keeping/fishing..

    Actually this is pretty nice right? Lol
    What i heard is that when they interbreed, they lose their color and will go back to the 'wild' color which is not very nice.

    This is what they call

    Beauty in the eye of the beholder

    some species wild form/caught are the beautiful one
    That is for the hobbyist to decide.
