I'd call them too many plecos. LOL
I don't think my bristle nose are hybrids, but I started with a pair a few years back, not knowing they were a male / female pair. Now I've got more then I want.

I highly doubt the IDs provided are accurate. A king tiger is an Hypancistrus while mustard spot is a Panaqolus. Some species within the same genus have been known to hybridize but I have never heard of inter-genus breeding.
There is no such thing as a King Mustard????

Do you mean you cane home from the store with a cave which you then discovered had eggs inside? If so I would bet the spawn was not from the two fish you bought.
Either 1 would be cool to breed or at least raise the fry. I'm guessing mustard spot? But TTA has it right, cross genus eggs are extremely unlikely.
What other fish were in the tank you got them from? More of each type? Other plecos? It could be fun to see what any eggs turn out to be if they hatch & grow. Hopefully the eggs are fertile.
Good luck! Surprise eggs & fry can be fun! Post some pics if you can of both fish & eggs.
