S. petrii as most Stenos, are a very poly-morphic (producing various patterns, coloration, etc.) species. S. doriae is quite rare in wild and captive populations. You likely have two S. petrii. If in fact you have these two species, they likely will not breed. It would not be a good idea not to try either. Hybrid animals are of no real value and it is important to keep species separate and not pollute the gene pool. Inter-species breeding is a novel anomaly for some, but is a detriment to the species involved. It's important to keep them warm in the day (around 82F) with an under-tank heater, pull the plug at night but don't get lower than (70). *A neodymium black light is good for night-time hunting and to mimic moonlight. Good luck, if you can post pics, we could tell you the species.
