Okay so my friend has told me that her male guppy tried breeding with her female tetra. I didnt really believe her but I was curious if it was possible and if so is there a specific breed name for those mixes?

People do it all the time,mixing egglayers and livebearers that is. How ever in the strictest sense this isn't always good for both types,for instance your tetras should be in soft water with a low pH,while guppies do better in water with a dash of salt,moderate hardness,and a pH in the 7 to 8 range. So in that case some one is living in less than ideal conditions. The best way to stock an aquarium is to find out what kind of water conditions come out of your tap,and keep the kinds of fish that will do the best given your prevailing water conditions. It is difficult and stressful to the fish to live in a tank in which the water conditions are constantly changing. I wonder what was going on in the pet sales persons head?

Not Possible! The female must be prego and the male guppie is picking on her.

Is your friend a mermaid?
It's called a "fool".
Guppy is a live bearer,tetra is an egg layer

What could be more possible.... The male guppy may have be hanging round the female and she has "thought' he ws trying to breed..
otherwise... just not possible.

No. Guppies are kind of like the fratboys of the fish world (i.e. they'll try to have sex with anything that moves) but there is no way they could cross breed.

impossible. guppies don't lay eggs they just have babies but tetras do lay eggs so its impossible. but it is possible for different types of livebearer to mix.

Impossible, they are two different species with different amounts of cromasomes. So even if they did the hanky panky, nothing would come of it.

Not possible,two different systems. The name would be "fish story".
