Different genera can sometimes interbreed, I think the limit is Family. It's a case by case sort of thing.
I hope it never happens. These fish have been unchanged for millions of years, and now we already have rather disgusting long finned varieties. Cross and selective breeding these fish is a huge disservice to something that nature perfected before mammals ruled the earth.
Why it can be done can't it? Its not going intov wild, I don't see any prob with it. Hybrids are even good most of the times and help people. Example the mule. This example would be the beauty is the eye of the beholder kind of thing.

Agreed. I'm not keen on the whole Hybrid thing.
I would much rather A show piece pure breed.
There are of course the natural wild crossed Bichirs, but again, not my cup of tea.
