How do platys and guppies have sex?

[ducatigirl]

I have many pregnant fish, and I am curious how they actually get that way.
There's alot of chasing, and tail shimmering.lol

They reproduce about the same way as mammals.

/google If you need more info...

 

[moePR15]

um yes lol go with Riiz's answer. They are live bearers so there is contact involved before the fry are born. the male has a long anal fin and take a wild guess what he uses it for =]

 

[ducatigirl]

lol ok. Seen the fin, never seen it in use though

I found the title of this thread intriguing. Sort of like you were asking how to cross-breed platys with guppies.

 

[Reframer]

then they'd be called "puppies" like muppies

:rofl: :rofl:

The cross will still not be possible. Platies = swordtails ; guppies = mollies

When a daddy guppy loves a mommy guppy...

This is actually an intriguing topic. We know how dogs, people, and other animals may do it but how exactly do fish pull it off?

Fishionary position? LOLOLOlolomglol
