Some body plz tell me how to post a message in a forum.. i've got lots of questions..

i have new molly fry.. cross between a male swordtail (red) and a silver molly (female) .. about 20 of them.. some are young ones are black , some partly black and partly normal and others, normal. Is it a healthy practise. i mean... if i cross a molly and a swordtail, will the resulting fry be healty and have good traits. Ofcourse, half of those are going to be my turtle feed. But u think i should let them mate, if i plan to raise the young ones and keep them? plz suggest.... Vikram.

The fry will be fine, interbreeding between certain livebearer species is perfectly safe. If there were any genetic defects or abnormalities, I doubt that the afflicted fry would still be alive. So if they're still a swimmin', you're good to go.
