I have had several pairs breed together in the same tank. A lot of the time I do it intentionally. If I have a pair that has shown signs of spawning but have never done so, I will stick them in with a breeding pair of something else, or visa versa, and a large majority of the time, it has worked very well. I Also had a pair of Jags, Zonatus and Hoga all spawn in the same tank at the same time. That was definitely a site to see.
As for your response dogofwar. It is quite possible that a breeding pair of whatever can have eggs fertilized by a different male in a different pair. Some male species do spray, they dont have to be right on top of the eggs. My male red devil fertilized my female Xilo's eggs through a divider and the eggs were easily a foot + away from that divider. Hundreds of little fry 4 days later. So you dont have to be an incompetent hobbyist to have something like this happen. Stranger things have happened.
