I thought guppies only breed with different livebearers if they are really desperate and have no guppies to mate with. Was this the case in your tank?

Beautiful fish. I wish I had some of them!

Yes, this was the case. There were no male guppies and no female mollies.

With so much documented evidence on the internet, it's hard not to know about it.
Not to mention the several photographic reports of the phenomenon right here at aquariacentral.

here are a couple others:

hmmm...now to find a way to get crayfish and goldfish to do the bedroom dance together..

 

[inkyjenn]

i really dont want to imagine a goldfish with pincers. i would imagine water changes would be quite dangerous

 

[thebrandon]

I was thinking more just a crayfish with a goldfish tail...lol simple and not as dangerous

I believe it's traditional to take the name of the female ("guppy" in this case) and replace the first letter with the first letter of the name of the male ("molly" in this case), so you do indeed have "muppies." A male guppy and female molly would produce "gollies."
