Well there's no real proof that there's hybrid of mosquitofish/guppy but other species of gambusia can hybridizing with mollies. Just not western mosquitofish x guppy hybrids. And it is very diffcult to do it as the mosquitofish fry can become sexually mature when they are a month old and make sure they are not pregnant for 6 months by their brothers then make sure the females don't kill the male guppies. I gave up with this project because I don't get any fry from my own female gambusia with too many male endlers.

No its not possible for a gambusia hybridizing with endlers because I never see any FRY from my female mosquitofish.

For molly/gambusia hybrid, they don't use western mosquitofish but a different species of gambusia to cross with the mollies since other species of mosquitofish are rare in aquarium hobby anyways.

Depends on good conditions, the mosquitofish fry will become sexually when they are more than 1 inch but most average sexually age is 3 months old.

Its long project and you need lots of spare tanks for hybridization.
