I'm not very well versed on the Moz. I only deal with pure strain Blues. They are quite rare.
The Moz. mature up to a month earlier than Blues. Blues spawn about every 5-6 weeks and eggs are carried by the female only. I have read that sometimes male Moz. will carry eggs and I don't have any idea on their spawning frequency.
I believe the optimum 82-85 degree temp is the same for both species as to growth rate and spawning. Blues are faster growing than others due to a slightly higher feed conversion ration.
From every study I've found, only the pure blue has the cold tolerance. Crosses/hybrids retain the warmer lethal temp traits.
