Im thinking about getting platys to put in with my swordtails, but I read somewhere that the two interbreed.
If I wanted to breed the swordtails, but didnt have platys, it wouldnt be a problem. If I also had platys, and a female platy or swordtail got pregnant, how would i know if the fry were pure platy, swordtail, or mixed?

so a female molly/swordtail can store sperm from two different fathers? and would the fry come out mixed like a hibrid or would it either be a swordtail, or platy?
