CalmedByFish Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Not that I have time to pursue it, but I'm curious. I know guppies, endlers, and mollies can produce offspring. Are there any other species that can also crossbreed with those 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Other mixes are possible but fry are not healthy-deformed-not viable or sterile I believe swordtails are one of those not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Playz Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hmm not that I know of. But I do know that I used to have a male platy that chased around my female guppy but she never got any fry. I don’t think they could breed though. I know swordtails and platies can though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSH OUTDOORS Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Guppies, Molly's and Endless are all part of the genus Poecilia. There are 40+ described species of this Genus, most of them being Molly. A Poecila can breed with another, no idea on viability of offspring. These and other some live-bearers like swordtail and platy belong to the family Poeciliidae. I don't believe they can breed outside of their genus but then again my grades in biology weren't the best... Hope that helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
