From what so far I have gathered is that the swordtails can interbreed with platies and the offspring are what they lfs call the "variatus" platy or something like that.

its possible but its not done often, ive never heard of anyone doing it, but it has been done.

They are livebearers so if ur looking for babies look for a big tummy. If you wana breed them get like 2 males and 4 females in a 10 gallon or so.

for breed it better to have a ratio of 1 male to every 3 females
