Can You Breed A Red Wag Platy With A Sunburst Platy?

[fishkeeper207]

I have a sunburst and a red wag platy divided in my 20 gallon tank with a divider will these two mate? How long would the mating take to happen

I'm pretty sure as long as one is female, and the other male they'll mate.  That's how livebearers work in my understanding 

 It's pretty much color variations, just like in guppies the color doesn't matter, as long as there are males and females together.  How long will it take could vary.  If you see him chasing her then it shouldn't be too long.  If you're going to separate them after just leave them together for an hour or two and then separate them.  She should be pregnant after that, but there's no guarantee.  Good luck!

Not all live bearers will breed with all others but the platy you have will.

They are the same species just different colors. If they're male and female they will mate.
