Ged Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 They are closely related as both are from the Altolamprologus genus. They differ in the shape of their mouths and which is more distinct stripe v's spots. If given the chance they will pair up and spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianniz Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 i tried for experiment but mine didn't. interest to know how the offsprings turn out. (i'm thinking this as there are few comps out there that look sus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfixxxxit Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 yea was thinking the same thing gianniz... if my calvus and comp breed i might try and keep 1 or 2 to see how they turn out because im sure ive purchased crosses before thinking they were gold comps... i have one at the moment... he likes kind of funny.. his whole body is black only with a tiny bit of gold on his sides, while another male i purchased from a breeder is very gold in colour.
