lefty o Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 you sure can, guppies dont care about color. put a male, and female in the same tank, and they will get busy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnebuns Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Yes you can! All guppies are the same species just different strains. A strain is similar to a breed in dogs. So it would be like crossing dog breeds. Edited March 6 by Cinnebuns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annalyn Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Thank you all, I was really confused and Google wasn't telling me nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 As mentioned above, color and fin shape don't matter, but I would like to mention that some guppy strains will ignore fry, and others are relentless fry hunters (looking at you, albino koi guppies). I'm not familiar with the female you mentioned, so I don't know what would happen with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always best anyway because it will be more fun for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
