A Gambusia and endler would not resualt in fry, these are two comleatly differnt genuses of fish and the gonopodium structre is wronge. To cross u need 2 species of a simular genus. Guppies and mollys are the same genus, but still rarely cross and have only ever seen 1 documented photo. Ditto for endler molly cross fishcollector said: personally believe endlers and guppies should be in the genus gambisia not poecilia Click to expand... Why? Just look at the structure of the gonopoduim and explain?
