No. Different species may not interbreed. For example, dogs can all breed with other dogs, because they are all the same species, but a dog cannot breed with a cat, as they are different species.
The same is true for fish. The definition of a species includes the fact that it may only breed with other members of the same species.
The exception to the rule (well the slight slant on this rule) is horses and donkeys. They can produce offspring (known as a Mule) but the offspring is always sterile and cannot go on to breed.

i do no longer think that your tank is overcrowded. In a fifty 5 gallon aquarium you will get close to 40 5 or so inches of fish. Mollys get 3 inches, Platys 2-3, Guppies a million.5, Corys 2-4, Dwarf Gouramis 2, and swordtail 4 inch. All which get you around 35 inch. I do propose you hit upon new properties on your silver money however. They improve to 5 inches and actually % to be in a set, which could be too plenty on your tank. they are additionally a wierd experience on your tropical community fish.

A species cannot breed with another species and produce offspring capable of breeding;this is what denotes "specieshood". Many species can produce sterile offspring together, however.

Probably..The resulting fish will be sterile though,as happens when any animals of different species breed.

In biology the determination of a species is that it cannot breed with another species.

Only very closely related species. For example swordtail, and platty. Often the offspring are infertile.

I would think so, otherwise there wouldn't be so many species of fish out there.;)

White bass and striped bass are interbred to create those "hybrid" bass...
