that should be pretty, I am assuming you're trying to get a long-finned type molly. Am I correct in thinking that?

What i am aiming for is a Molly With the Big top "Sail Fin" and A Lyre Tail. Color isn't a Serious concern right now, im more worried about getting the traits of Both Firmly Established into one fish Then ill worry about Color lol

I thought you meant hybridization of species. I think there are lyre tail sail fins out there... or is this just for fun?
