Just wanted to confirm.....

So, I read online that swordtails can breed with platys. What about guppies? I have 2 female platys, 2 male guppies, and one male swordtail. I know my platys likely have stored sperm, but will the swordtail and/or guppies breed with them?


And why does one of the guppies seem to be trying to mate with my tetra? Does he just want a girlfriend? (Its not going to happen, just curious).

Most livebearers can interbreed. Guppies are guppies you know what they say about rabbits the are Nuns compared to guppies.

Guppies and platys do not interbreed. I have 9- 20 gal tanks set up at my store and never have I had any of these interbreed...........Yes your male is chasing your tetra because he needs a girlfriend but he will not breed with the tetra.

No guppies and platys/mollies do not bred together, but they will with enders and mosquito fish. Platys ,mollies and swordtails do interbreed though. Sorry as I really didn't explain it on the previous post. Thanks for covering me whisper.( I would have missed it)

OK, thank you for the confirmation. Hobbes is just going to have to get over his need to breed. I have 2 platy females with a male swordtail. I dont need more breeding in there, lol. Maybe if I can get my hands on a bigger tank I will change my mind, but until then.........
