These hybrids are basically what feeder guppies is the only difference is mine will probably live longer as they wasn't mass produced for feeding.Mcasella said:They honestly look like feeder guppies.
There are no proven hybrids of guppies with mosquitofish. The gonopodium of either one cannot impregnate females of the other species. Most likely any claims otherwise involve females that had already mated with a male of their own species, from which they can have several batches of young spread over a nine to twelve month period without additional matings. Not that male guppies wouldn't try, but their gonopodium is too short and has the wrong holding hooks. Genetic compatibility is also very unlikely between the two genera involved.nanofishneeded said:Believe it or not they can! IME most of the time it seems to be a male guppy and a female mosquitofish, but it definitely happens.
These are for sure hybrids but they didn't last most of them died out I only have a few left and they no longer reproduce.The females look like basic mosquitofish and the males are similar to endlers except the dorsal fin is long and wavy.chromedome52 said:There are no proven hybrids of guppies with mosquitofish.

The photos at the start of this thread all show guppies, males and females both. You probably had a female that had been impregnated previously by a male guppy, and she had additional batches of young from the one mating. They can have several batches over a year's time without mating again. You did NOT have hybrids.Jimmie93 said:These are for sure hybrids but they didn't last most of them died out I only have a few left and they no longer reproduce.The females look like basic mosquitofish and the males are similar to endlers except the dorsal fin is long and wavy.
So you are telling me these are fancy guppies? Which is the only fish I had in the tank before I introduced the mosquitofish.chromedome52 said:The photos at the start of this thread all show guppies, males and females both.
