Both are members of the same family (anabantids), and will fight to the death for territory.

Short answer: No. @Brookster123 is right on target saying that it will start an epic battle. One fish will kill the other almost instantly! I found out the hard way.

I've been watching a lot of game of thrones, as much as I'd like to see more epic battles. .not so much in the tanks..
