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