Did Guppy And Swordtail Breed?

[fletch]

Ok I'll start this off. I currently have a guppy who hasnt given birth in 2 1/2 months and she has recently become pregnant. The only other male livebearer in the tank is a sword tail. Could I possibly get any strange combinations coming from this or is my guppy just fat?

I'd guess your guppy is pregnant by your swordtail. That's pretty cool--maybe you'll get guppies with swords!

Yeah you could as my male guppy is trying to mate with my female swordtail and ive seen pictures of guppies with swords

 

[joe]

that's tight

 

[fletch]

why is it tight, no one made them shag, they did it themselves

 

[joe]

because it is, tight is cool

 

[Jason]

fair enough

 

[fletch]

oh, so tight (toy t) rather than tight (tie t) then?

 

[Jason]

Dont try and understand it-do it like me and just say ok and move-on. Must be one of the school things, because there are always wird words going aroung and it changes so often- nobody knows what they mean they just say it

 

[Gunnie]

American slang. Tight is cool. Tight is a good thing.

 

[fletch]

British slang too, its just if you say it differently it means something different. Londoners will have a different way of saying it than someone from Bristol and it means something different. That's the reason for the phonetics

very cool I didnt know they would naturally breed with each other... hmm are u sure she is pregnant?

 

[RoboDude]

I think he'd know by now! Months and months ago he announced it!

I know this is a really old post but I had a femal guppy in a tank by herself, about two months later she had babies - they store sperm and then when they feel like it - fertilize themselves! weird hey?
