Breeding Different Fish - Kilayim?

Question

 Is it permitted to keep in an aquarium a fish called guppy together with a fish called molly or a fish called platy, since they are all from the livebearer family (not egg-laying fish) and are capable of interbreeding with each other? 

Answer

Shalom UvRacha,

Its permitted. 

It is not considered your action.
