Should I try breeding mosquito fish?

I have a sixteen gallon tank with guppies, swordtails and mollies in it. Could I also put mosquito fish in there? I also have a 15 gallon running that I could possible put them in by themselves.
So my mom is a teacher and at her school they do a project with mosquito fish. I was thinking about asking her to bring some home. I would like to at least see what they are like. It would also be cool if I could create some mosquito fish guppy hybrids. I'm not sure if anyone has really tried to do this before or what. I know they are just like normal livebearers but live in colder water. Should I put them in with a heater? or should I run the tank cold? I'm going to try to give away my mollies because I can't breed them anymore and may possibly give away the swordtails and the one platy that I have. I don't know what I would do with the babies. I live up north and they are usually put outside in water gardens or ponds, so I'm not sure that pet stores would take them in the winter because no one would probably buy them. I have owned all other types of livebearers and want to see what the final type is like.

 

You're already overstocked as it is. I would not add another species. Once you get rid of the mollies and swordtails, you can get the mosquitofish, but I would wait for now.

 

I'm not going to get them right now. I was going to wait. I'm working on finding homes for my mollies and swords and platy.

 

I don't know what I would do with the babies.

This here is a red flag. I would not breed them unless you know where you will sell them. I saw your other thread and until you can get more tanks for your current fry I wouldn't be thinking about breeding anything else.

Sorry if this came off as rude, mean, or offensive, it was not intentional. I'm just looking out for your fish.

 

Do you have all the equipment to raise the fry? If you get good at it with experience, there is a small market for some endangered species for Mexican and Central American livebearers. One in particular is reported to be the most excellent in eating long-thread hair algae (Ameca splendens, or commonly called Butterfly Goodeid, search this thread: www.thekrib.com/Plants/Algae/hair-algae.html). I am considering buying a half-dozen fry from a private seller in Colorado. Just a thought.
