Guppy & Platy?

[Amunet]

I've read the same thing over and over again with conflicting info.

Can Guppies and Platy cross breed? Is it possible for fry to be produced from it?

That's all I want to know!
Don't care about any other livebearer cross breeds that can, just want to know if these 2 will produce fry. Don't care if the fry are weak and don't live long.
I'm just curious, and would like a definite answer

Heh I sound so hostile!

No the two species cant cross breed.

Alrighty! Thank ya much!

I was only curious b/c I have female platy and male guppies in the same tank. Would've been interesting if they could, but meh, better if they can't b/c I don't have the tank space for a ton of fry!

No, they won't cross, simply for the same reason you can't cross breed guppies and swordtails: they are in different groups. Guppies and mollies cross, as do platies and swords, but it won't go otherwise.
