Can you breed different species of milks together, like a nelsons and a honduran? Any info would be appreciated thank you.

All milks are the same species.

those are different subspecies, and they don't naturally occur in areas where they can intergrade. I'd urge you not to do it: the offspring and all their descendants will always be mixes, or unnatural intergrades or whatever people prefer to call them.

let me approach the issue in a different way: why do you want to?

I have a pair of nelson's and a lone female hondo. I figured i would just breed her to my male nelson instead of buying a male hondo right now.
