here is what i've got so far:
males:
1 orange molly
1 red/black swordtail
females:
1 white molly
3 black mollies
1 scarlet platy
these fish are currently in my 30gal setup, and instead of sepperating the ones i want to breed, i'd rather just leave it up to chance. The general agreement is that all livebearers can cross, but it doesn't usually happen. My male orange molly has already crossed with my female scarlet platy, and i'm pretty sure that my swordtail has also done so. (is it possible the the sperm can fuse while in the female and create a 3-breed?) Also, my swordtail doesn't seem interested in the mollies, and i was really hoping that he would go for the black ones. Would i have to seperate them to make it happen?
i have a 10gal setup for the 30babies i have so far. 18calico mollies, born oct.23, 2011. and 12platy crosses, (still not sure about the specific breeds crossed) born oct.30, 2011.
Any and all advice on this matter would be great
