Auratus cichlid and socolofi cichlid are different species, and even within the same genus, interbreeding between closely related species is not typical.
Can auratus cichlid breed with socolofi cichlid?
No, auratus cichlid (Melanochromis auratus) cannot breed with socolofi cichlid (Pseudotropheus socolofi). They belong to different genera within the Cichlidae family, which means they are too genetically distinct to produce viable offspring.
