Swordmollies A new breed

[snotirl]

My silver mollie (male) breeded with my female swordtail So will i end up with a new breed of fish i call it SWORDMOLLIES?

Sometimes it happens in nature that 2 species breed, but usually the offspring produced by such an incident can't breed themselves. I've heard that platies and swordtails have been mixed a lot of times, tho, but never heard of mollies and swordtails breeding together.

Sorry to disappoint ya, but even if they do have babies (unlikely) they will all be infertile. The only time I've ever heard of swordmollies appearing is when scientists extract from males and insert into females the sperm, not from natural circumstances as you describe, either way be sure to look out for some unique babies but don't get too disappointed if they don't turn up

I know of someone who had swordmollies I'm not sure if they had any fry from the sword mollies, but certainly an interesting proposition...!

Well why do you have in ur 25 gallon a male swordtail and female that may be the reason. Babies are popping and besides the mollies are in the other tank.
