Very Rare Hybrid Guppy-Molly Crosses.

[brummyfishing]

bad !!!!!!!!

[ben191209]

Beautiful hybrids, sir. I salute you, and there is not very many people that i salute. You have produdced the most magnificent gollies i have ever seen! Nice job!

[FishObsesed]

I rather the name Gullies for them!!!! hehehe nice fishes!!!

[TheFloridaSniper]

You can find these in the wild in SW florida

[L3gendary101]

Are the those male crosses able to reproduce?

[raidenfanign]

@L3gendary101

Possibly.

There are 3 small fry in the muppy tank which could have come from the one female hybrid. I will know for sure when they get a few weeks older.

[convict2912097]

@raidenfanign probably not as there are no females.. but seriously no most likely not as they are essentially mules! you were actually very lucky or a very good keeper to have managed to keep them alive this long!

[TheMoua07]

i like those guppies i wish i had two

[llWinterFROSTll]

Incredible. thumbs up.

[czechivan]

beautiful 

[ollivander23]

or maybe moppie(either a name for a hybrid or a name for a new brand of mops)

[MrCle2009]

very nice hybrids but dont you think that making hybrids un purpose is not so good i mean its not really their nature but i also want to try and breed hybrid guppies.

nice vid.

[DarkDyami]

Different videos say Muppies are unable to produce, I think that's a load of shit but it could be true but looks like either you got some fat Muppies or Prego ones

[iStupid8]

i like your theory

[aqworldsbella]

nice how do you breed those fish i allways wanted to

[raidenfanign]

@aqworldsbella

Time and patience really. I am currently attempting to cross a balloon-belly molly with an assortment of virgin female guppies. I wonder what kind fish they will produce?

[aqworldsbella]

@raidenfanign good luck with that

[jimmycha12345]

woah! they look pretty ahha i might have to try cross breeding when i get the chance!! ahha thx for this vid!!

[Shannonx323]

I accidently had these fish. I have 5 male guppies in a tank along with a female molly that i was given. The other day i get home to "muppys", "gollies" W/E ! They appear to be healthy little ones but they are still too young to tell anyone that has experience with them and can tell me what to do with them please share. Thanks !

[canlovesham]

They are not rare. All you need is a male molly and a female guppy or visversa in the same tank with no other fish of the same species or opiset sex and the babies you find will be muppies or gollies

[raidenfanign]

@canlovesham

i wish that were true. It took years of trial and error to produce these fish. Mating is not usually successful, even with the scenario you describe. The hybrid offspring rarely survive due to disease and/or deformity. The fish in these videos are extraordinarily healthy and hardy.

[Yinfin21]

@raidenfanign does it work with a male guppy and a female molly

[zuggylovesCH3ESe]

MUPPIES!!! aaaah! they are trying to make man eating mini piranahs. :D try selling sum they will be money makers

[Petrasa]

My muppies, although very "active,"  have never successfully produced offspring.

[pinkygirl1999]

I wondered if these two fish could breed together

[Daniellaofsweden]

Looks like Limias to me.

[raidenfanign]

@Daniellaofsweden

u know, you are right... & ive never heard of Limias until now. Apparently, mollies and guppies and limias are in the same family: Poeciliidae, but limias are classified as a separate genus. Thats interesting. Given the obvious physical similarities between molly/guppy hybrids and limias, i'd say they each share a common ancestry, despite the naysayers.

[PRLIBRENOWMAGNUS]

@Daniellaofsweden and to me too , i saw fish likes this one a LOT in wild in ponds in PuertoRico

[MyLaser12]

Muppies sounds cooler :P

[rbgt02121]

are the male crosses sterile or fertile.

[raidenfanign]

@rbgt02121

hi. i do not know yet. I am currently attempting to breed select hybrid males with an orange/gold lyretail female molly, as well as a variety of virgin female guppies, but I am limited on tank space. I will post video of the results if successful. :) I would really love to selectively breed a large delta tail hybrid complete with a dorsal sailfin but with guppy coloration. I would love to try anyway, but dominant and recessive genes would be a guessing game here.

[rbgt02121]

@raidenfanign ok thats cool i will keep watching for updates i first got interested in crossing when my uncle had a black molly knock up a guppy which was purely accidental only one of the fry lived through adult hood it had a second head to which was cool but it was sterile he had it for three years before it died of natural causes

[rbgt02121]

@raidenfanign i have some hybrid crosses as well i managed to get guppys and swordtail to cross which is suppose to be unlikely and i to have molly guppy crosses. i also have guppy and platy crosses as well but im doubtful on the fry surviving when they are born. 

[2smart4uandu]

they look kind of like variutus platies

[CamCool10]

Can they breed themselves?

You could probably put lot's of male guppies and a female molly in one tank, or lot's of female guppies and a male molly. I want to buy some!

[raidenfanign]

@CamCool10

hi. yeah, i have tried all combinations. Through this experiment, Ive learned timing is everything. Both the molly and guppy must REALLY be in the mood to mate, or it just wont happen. Both mo,lly and guppy must peak sexually at the same time and have no other fish of their kind in the same tank. I have already traded a few of them to a LFS. The hybrids sold the same morning. I may decide to sell a few more, but have not decided on a price.

[vinayvmware]

@CamCool10 - guppies dont need a male to produce offspring. put a few female guppies together and after sometime one or two will turn 'male' and they just reproduce.

[Anzila82]

@vinayvmware those evolving "females" you describe are actually slow males. So yes, you need an actual male for them to produce offspring.

[vinayvmware]

beautiful fish... am sure a lot of trial and error has gone into their production. well done mate.

[oscarfight]

how do u do that??

put male guppies with female mollies??

[helterskelter50]

I been answering people for many year asking about crosses of livebearers.

While there very rare this look's to be a real cross.

Good luck with them and hope to see more video's

[NeegZooZooNraug]

will it work with balloon molly

[raidenfanign]

@NeegZooZooNraug

hi there. I don't know really.

I believe the balloon molly is already a hybrid species. (Sailfin I think) The balloon or "pot belly" shape is actually a deformity, plus, these fish are often inbred which contributes to an already shortened lifespan. You could attempt crossing the two, but i doubt you will be successful.

[raidenfanign]

@NeegZooZooNraug

UPDATE: Yes. It is possible. :) I have a new video showing juvenile balloon molly/guppy fry. They are just beginning to show colors and patterns.

[MrTher27]

interesting. They are fighting in this video too lol

[raidenfanign]

@MrTher27

yeah. I have been closely documenting their progress and their behavior is quite unique. They seem to be more territorial than your average molly and more aggressive than a guppy, yet oddly, these fish sometimes school together. As with most live-bearer they are quick to mate and love to eat. They enjoy blackworms and brine shrimp and love to peck at algae and graze for food. Unlike many guppies, however, these fish often become very aggressive during feedings.
