Can Molly/platy Interbreed?

[keri578]

Ohhhh man is that true?? Can Mollies and Platies really interbreed with each other? The fish store near my house which is JUSt a fish store, not a pet store and they've been around for years, claimed that they can! I've got 9 Mollies and 6 Platies... wouldn't that be fun trying to sort out the babies!

No they can not.

i think they need a biology lesson and to watch the fish a little more...

Platies and Swordtails can cross. Endlers, Mollies, and Guppies can cross. A Guppy and Molly cross is normally unable to reproduce.

 

[helterskelter]

Not true, these are impossible to cross, as are platy x guppy.
However platy and swords can, as can guppy and mollies cross breed.

as can guppy and mollies cross breed.

apart from being a poecillia member i think thats as far as their relation goes. I dont thing they will breed... Ever

I think you'll find you're wrong. I don't think Helterskelter would say it if it wasn't true.

Guppy's and Molly's can interbreed, the off-spring are infertile so aren't a real hybrid, a Guppy/Molly interbreed is very rare however.

My mollies and guppies/endlers have interbred.
I have to say, the babies have some very strange colouration. Sort of mostly black with some black speckles and yellow dorsals. Very pretty

will have to try someday (bwa ha ha ha ha)
