Hi,

Does anyone know if a firemouth and Honduran red point can breed?? We have one if each in our 240l tank and they have made a nest inside one if the ornaments, the firemouth is protecting the area with the Honduran inside.....they are both digging down and seem inseparable?

Anyone??
 
Yes, most centrals can and will breed with other Central Americans when their opposite is not present, it's their instinct to reproduce.
 
Ah right ok. Is it wise to let them breed or should they be separated?
 
Ok thank you.

I don't think we would have the space for any babies in the tank. We'll have to keep a close eye on them!
