 | Randy Guppy |
Spikey Fingerling Posts: 24 Votes: 0 Registered: 14-May-2004   | I have a half black male guppy, the problem is he ignores the female guppies and the tank. Whats worse he has fallen in love with a Dalmatian Molly (Female) He wont leave her alone, he's always mating with her and follows her around. The molly seems to enjoy the attention! Can a Molly and a Guppy have fry? Kain |

Jaws Fingerling Posts: 47 Kudos: 78 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-May-2004   | A Guppy and a Molly can and will mate. Guppies, platys, swords, and mollies are not interchangeable though. A Molly wont sucessfully mate with a sword nor would a platy sucessfully mate with a guppy. |

Mr Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 304 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Jul-2003 | One time my guppy tryed to mate with a MALE swordtail. I found him dead and tailless the next morning. Then I moved the Swordtails over to a different tank. I don't like keeping livebearers of different species in the same tank. |
