Thanks for reaching out. Not sure if an accurate answer can be presented in this medical forum, but some breeder have had success with cross breeding these two to get a hybrid fish. Not sure what husbandry parameter, and sexes of which species those successes have revolved around. Maybe contacting a fresh water fish club can better answer these questions. Good luck.
