I'm sort of new to tropicals ,this concerns mollies.If you have 2 differnent species of mollies will they breed??

Sorry if its a stupid question.

ive got 2 different male mollies to the female not sure if its classed as a different species but theyve got different shaped tails and fins and they all love each other! and have zillions of babies!

Nope..they cant..Mollies can only breed with Mollies..they may try...but with out any results.

actually I read that platys and mollies can cross breed too, it was in a reputable book and recommended that the fry be euthanased immediately as it will be stunted or deformed.....

Fx (Iavoided platies for that reason as I like mollies and have mainly female)

Yep the mollies will breed unless they're like totally different like one male balloon molly and one silver lyretail molly then I dun think its posssible... they can have babies but they'll prolly be deformed gl

I assure you its NOT possible...Platies can interbreed with swordtails and vice versa..but Mollies can ONLY produce fry with other mollies
