All guppies can mate together (obviously male to female only), and they can even breed with Endler's livebearers. I have read speculation that Endler's are just a form of guppies, but that's just academic in this case because they'll breed together either way. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
