Female Betta Fish Compatibility
Female Betta Fish Compatibility
All Male or Female Mollies/Platies/Swordtails?
My boyfriend is buying me fish to go in a 12 gallon BiOrb tank (yes, I researched and 1 gallon per fish is acceptable, and there will be a heater) and it just so happened that the breeds I chose (mollies, platies, and swordtails) can all interbreed. I did a ton of research on the breeds and chose them because of their compatibility, and it turned out that they are too compatible, haha.
I was wondering if all males or all females would be a better idea. I was leaning toward males because many females can come home preggo, and all three breeds are known to be peaceful fish.
I would just really like a second opinion.
P.S. I have a male betta that I may or may not put in the aquarium with the mollies, platies, and swordtail. Would that be a good idea or bad one? I know that none of those breeds have long flowing fins, but as earlier, I would just like a second opinion.
Thank You!
I absolutely do not want to breed fish or get babies.
Mollies do not interbreed with Platys or Swordtails. Swordtails and Platys well certainly intermix,and if the fish are not wild-caught, it’s likely that your pet-store fish are already some sort of cross. All male Swordtails will be found to be a little too “scrappy” to be called peaceful. The male Betta would probably be O.K. if you left out the Swordtails.
