wonderful looks like she will be in the 2.5 gallon for a while then. do swordtails and mollies inner breed? i got a back molly to do the job of alge eatter in my 20 gallon and she did a great job she picked the tank clean, but my male sword tail is following her every where she goes. he is more interested in her then anything. any cance for a hybread out of all this?

I do not think so.....only based on the fact I have never had anyone try to sell me any, but like most boys I'm sure he is willing to try :thumbup:

We shall see. it would be different though. if it actually happened i'll bring you a few. The female black molly is the only one in there so if she gets pregnant it isn't from one of her own kind. then again for all i know she could be pregnant she was in a tank full of males when i got her. when i got her i asked for a female and the lady who fished her out said all she had was males that all the females came in dead and all they had were males. i think she needed to go back to fish school and learn how to tell the difference.
