    First Time Molly Owner

    I've recently gotten a male and female Dalmatian mollies (about a month ago) and I'm certain she is now pregnant! :D I've successfully bred platys before and I was just wondering if there was anything I needed to know that pertains specifically to mollies. Thanks a billion!

    Red Wag Platy Or Dalmatian Molly Fry? (Pic)
