Common sense should tell you that it's not a great idea to mix species anyway, regardless of what Andy Highfield says. Especially if you are an informed keeper, it really does not make sens to play Russian Roulette with your collection. I have heard horror story after horror story about entire collections being decimated due to cross-mixing...and not all specimens were WC either. As an experienced keeper, obviously you make your own decisions. I don't think it's a good idea to be advising newbies that they can just throw any old species together though...

: I have kept greeks with leps for years no problems. When both species are captive bred there is little chance of cross infection. As far as TT goes if Andy told me the sky was blue, I'd still check.
