Are you sure of this one? It would surprise me VERY much as they belong to different families. Platys and swordtails yes, guppies and endlers certainly, guppies and mollies supposedly, guppies and platys- well my bet would be that the female was already pregnant by somebody else. As you probably know they can store sperm for a long time, so paternity in livebearers can be very hard to ascertain unless the females have been kept separate all their lives.

My pink Mickey Mouse and my Orange Wagtail have produced 3 batches of offspring: orange wagtail, pink mickeys and pink wagtails.
