8) hi i need to know how i can interbreed sowrdtail and molly

No, swordtails and mollies will not interbreed naturally. I have heard that they have interbreed them artificially but thats in a lab not in your tank. They are from a completely different genus, so while they are both livebearers they can not interbreed. Swordtails can interbreed with platies though.

I have a male swordtail who sometimes tries to mate with my mollie. But I guess it's good that they can't breed. I'm planning on getting a female swordtail for him and a male mollie for her. That should make them happy

You should get a couple of females for each male, so the one and only doesn't have to take all the heat from the male all the time

Swordtails can interbreed with platies but not mollies (well they'll try but no babies!)
