Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	So I have heard that you can mix Guppies and Mollies to make Muppies. Has anyone done this? Does anyone have pictures? Thanks!! 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

You're right Cory Addict, & i also think that the problem is unfortunatly increasing. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	This is not something that I am looking to make a lot of them. I am just wondering if it is posible and by no means do I want to spread them around. I have a nice warmouth in another tank that could and would have them gone in a matter of minutes time.

If two fishes are related closely enough(ususally share the same genus) and have no other alternative, they may interbreed. I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French.

janenenc Hobbyist Posts: 113 Kudos: 35 Votes: 3 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	Hmmm.. I just put 3 mollies into my tank with a 3 guppies and about 10 platies (about 7 of which are juveniles). I was just looking at the profiles and compatibility of mollies and other livebearers are not listed. Is putting these fish together a bad thing??

JQW Fish Addict Posts: 869 Kudos: 758 Registered: 09-Apr-2003	Interbreeding is bad How would you like to see your cat breed with your dog? Putting those livebearers together is creating an opportunity for them to interbreed. In my opinion, a tank with all those three species housed together doesn't look as good as one of those specie. Apart from interbreeding, it looks too disordered IMO. I do have a picture of a Tigon (Tiger + Lion)
