Oct 16, 2009 at 7:05 comment added Simon Wadsley If by finitely generated you mean under direct sum in an additive category then I think that will be true.
Oct 15, 2009 at 22:54 comment added John Goodrick Thanks! This is exactly the kind of example I was looking for. Abstracting a bit, it seems that if you ever have a "reasonable" category of algebraic objects with two "indecomposables" A and B which are bi-embeddable but nonisomorphic, then you ought to be able to take the subcategory of all objects "finitely generated by A and B" and get a similar thing satisfying both 1 and 2. I'm too lazy at the instant to think what's the optimal way to make this precise -- maybe it should be a statement about abelian categories?
