You know Brian, one would absolutely think so. I don't know of any darts I have worked with in my seven year stint , where I knew I had at least one male and at least one female, which have not bred for me. Not one species, local, morph, or sub-species. You put a male with a female and eventually they breed. Maybe not in big numbers, maybe not like auratus, but they always seem to breed for me. It is a natural drive.
On a side note, I know that Jelly has pronounced that he has not produced any frogs from his mix tank of , at last count , at least 13, yes , I'll say it again, at least 13 frogs, males and females, that can all interbreed. 13 frogs, 12 years, no froglets. Hmmm seems a bit un-natural to me...
He has stated that after moving the herd into his new tank he will care for eggs and raise anything produced by the herd. I don't generally search out posts by Jelly, so I'm not sure if the move has prompted breeding or not. But Jelly could answer that for us. I'd like to know who gets the mutts he pumps out...
