:I had mentioned in the guppy forum on several occasions that my guppies will not leave my platy fish alone. Is it possible for them to breed and if so will I end up with some sort of deformed babies? The male guppies are not chasing the fish but trying to mate which is very obvious from their behavior. So, I decided to purchase 3 female guppies to divert their attention but no luck. They aren't even interested in the females, just every other type of fish even my male platies. What will be the result if the platy female has babies?
They can breed together, but that's not to say any fry will come of it. Even if they did produce fry, they may be deformed and they may not, but personally I have never had the two interbreed and produce anything and I don't think anyone else has either.
