Hey New Fish Hobbyist Here and I just have some questions!

by CatherineG

Is there anyone here that does selective breeding with your guppies? is it possible for a guppy, molly, or swordtail to breed together? and what are the chances of heathly fry from a pregnant guppy with ich if I caught it early?

Ich can be easily curable if your have a hospital/quarantine tank and give them the proper medication (raise the temp water as well). As for the other question.......I don't think you can do selective breeding with the fish you mentioned, possibly platy's with swordtails (I think they're the same type of fish) but don't quote me on that.....

It may be possible, not sure. But I seriously doubt you would be able to sell or trade them. Most people want pure fish when they buy them, not hybrids.

No, I don't believe you can interbreed guppies, mollies, and swordtails. And don't try...it creates problems for the fish! Not that you were going to try...
