agent_alice  Hobbyist Posts: 114 Kudos: 115 Votes: 0 Registered: 11-Jul-2004   | i asked this question a couple of days ago, but here it goes again (only modified). So someone said that mollies and guppies can have hybrids together, same with swordtails and platys. 1.) are the hybrids fertile? 2.) how can platys and swordtails breed if platys can be 2.5" and swordtails 5"? |

It stinks because you don't know if that swordtail you are buying had a platy grandparent. Good luck trying to find a pure platy line or a pure swordtail line. |
