i have found that as well oldman. my last two drop both happened over night so i missed them. It was so nice to see the fry birth and i hope that my kids will be able to witness one as they are very interested in the fish.

well i brought 6 mollies yesterday and after getting them home one was looking really big so i decided to put her in my trap and 1/2 hour later she started having fry :D . she had 32 fry altogether. It is the first time i have witnessed a birth so i was really pleased
