Muppies or Gollies?? >.<

Hey,
guys and gals I haven't been on this in a while but yeah I've come on this now due to coming up to Christmas. and I just wanna know .. I've been breeding Guppy's and Molly's together for the last month due to an unexpected birth from a female :/.. molly. she gave birth to an amazing 3 somewhat related to guppy fry??.. I dunno where this had happened due to only ever having Molly's in my 50 gallon thanks 1 male and 3 females. the fry have survived the last 5 months and are amazing colours.. green , purple/violet and a yellowish orange.. some baby blue mixed in there tails are unnaturally long and there dorsal fins are like strands of hair underwater I have never seen anything like them and the amazing thing is is that they are all female.. they resemble a guppy more so .. but there are some traces of molly's in there. there like 4 inches long and .. I dunno if I should breed them .. cause if I do I dunno what might happen to there traits??.. they have survived 5 months.. but I was told hybrids would not survive and always came out male :/..but so far all of those things have been proven wrong.. they are old enough to mate and I feel its not good to leave them out :/.. they get on really well with each other never leave one another.. there so cute .. but anyway this tread is getting bit long eh.. so I would like ye to vote to mate em with my best males or best males I can find or not to mate??>> >.<
Thanks looking forward to answers

 

Do you have a pictures of them?

 

no any pics I try to get they dart off??.. there really blury the ones I have and you can't make them out :/.. but eh ya know dalmation mollys??.. there like them but with the colours above :/..
and look more like a guppy :/..

 

I would love to see some pictures of them. I keep my Mollies and Guppies separated and have never tried cross breeding them due to the mortality rate of the fry. I know several who do it with some limited success but normally the off spring are not real healthy so they don’t survive for very long.

As for what traits that would get passed along from generation to generation has always been a mystery to me. I breed Mollies and I have never been able to predict the out come of the fry totally. You would think that when you breed a Black Molly with a Black Molly you would get Black fry but that isn’t always the truth due to recessive genes. Now and then you will get fry that are some other color. I contribute this to who knows what the grandparents of my mating pairs are because I am always looking for a new male or female to breed to so I don’t have total control over the linage of the strain.

I don’t like to let to much inbreeding to go on in my tanks so any fry keep never get returned to the parent’s tank but some of their off spring might. Yes I know that is how you can control what genes get passed on but after generations of inbreeding you start having lots of mutated and deformed fry with very short life spans. Breeding fish isn’t as simple as algebra, a + b don’t always give you what you expect because a is a matrix of its parents and so is b so the out come is a matrix of the two.

Good luck with the Muppies or Gollies and please do post some pictures if you ever get a good one.

 

yeah pictures would be great. They sound very interesting... xD

 

I would love to see pictures!

 

today I found them dead but found some fry in the tank.. I'm not sure if these are from the parents that died or the fish that died today. but they seen very lively .. there on there own in a 30 gallon tank :/. and there's about 6 I can see eating well and very lively.. ill see what happens

 

Sorry about you fishes!!
