Can Guppies and swordtail marigolds mate?
swordtails and guppies cannot crossbreed. guppies are from the genus Poecilia, swordtails are from the genus Xiphophorus, they are essentially different entirely, however they both belong to the family Poeciliidae.



when fish belong to different genus, its almost always impossible for them to crossbreed.
Reply:No, they won't breed, but you should get another female in there with the male. It's best to keep at least 2 females for each male. Less stress for the female that way.
Reply:I am pretty sure, that they stay with their own kind.
Reply:can you and a orangutang breed?... ........ theres youre answer
