9 Pictures Of My Mollies,

[wendywc]

Okay, so I've never had mollies before. I bought these six about 2.5 months ago when they were in a molly fry tank at the LFS. It's a really nice, little LFS. Anyway, 4 have grown to be about 2 inch mollys, but two are stunted at only an inch, or are still not grown, or maybe they are platies?? I don't know.

Plus my white molly is big, about to explode big. I haven't seen any babies yet (that I know of). And my orange molly also looks to be getting a little plump. Anyone know what I can expect?? I haven't sex any of them yet either, so anyone who does -- thanks! I know I should have already -- I hope I haven't harmed them by just letting them do their thing.

Here's the four big mollies. Hard to see the two black ones. And the white molly looks huge!

Here's the 4 giving me the evil eye.

Here's 3 of them shaking me down for food.

Sigh, so pretty.

The two little ones.

Closeup shots.

Lovely fish! The small ones are Platies though, both appearing to be males. For the Molly sexing, it's hard to tell in the group shots, but in the individual ones, it's: F, F, M, F as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the replay Annastasia! So can I keep my current setup with the two little guys being male platies? :crosses fingers: I'm just so attached to all of them.

Very pretty fish. I really like the close up pictures at the bottom.

I noticed in your little signature-thing it says you have 8 glofish danios. I researched these fishes when I was in a biology class. Where did you get them? They are so pretty. Where they expensive?

Sorry for so many questions.

nice fish! my friend loves those gold nugget mollies so much, she just got 2 more today! also props to ur pictures because it's so hard for me to do with my fish they're so darn fast!! oh and i know females have a fan-like bottom fin underneath them, and males have a long stringy one, if that helps at all haha.

Thanks for the nice comments!

I wish I could take pictures of them without the flash but they are extremely fast. So I have flash spots on them occassionally and their scales sometimes get washed out.

Kyle B, I got the glofish at I would say the best little LFS near me, here in Houston called Tropical Fish Depot, I45 exit Almeda. They were $5 each. Here's my thread about them. http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=132766 It seems I have one hunchback and one runt out of the 8 though.
