Breeding
Hey~
Does anyone know if Mollies can breed with Platties? And if that's possible, is that rare or the same chances as two platties or two mollies breeding? :P |

It is arguably possible, but only infintesimally so...platys and swords can and will hybridise, as will guppies with mollies, but although all are from the same family the former and latter pairs belong to different genera, and cross genera hybridisation is rare at best.
