tropical fish breeding
hi in my tank i had 4 female and 1 male silver mollie, now due to mass breeding i have to many to count. i dont use a breeding dock or catch the fry i just let them do there thing, but the tank is looking a little silver now. would it be possible to cross breed a bright red sordtail with the mollies to add a little variaty to the tank.
many thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
im not quite shure if that would work, you may want to try and breed them in with a fish thats a bit more closely related. the red dalmatian lyretail molly and the chocolate cream balloon lyretail molly are both very colorfull variations of the species Poecilia shenops, the same as the silver molly. also the Cremecicle Molly is almost identicaln to the silver molly, but it has more of a canary yellow color, so thats always an option.
i hope i helped.

Swordtails and Mollies do not interbreed. Platys and Mollies have been known to interbreed, but the offspring may be sterile and will usually look like platys. My suggestion is to get some colorful guppies and breed them for a variation or add a different breed of tropical fish that is compatible, even those of the non livebearer type.
