I cant get my mollies to breed at all i give them everything to encourage breeding but nothing seems to come!Anybody got any adive?

What size tank do you have?
How many female and male mollies do you have?

 

[jennyh124]

100 gallons my dad made it specially for me and i have 3 male mollies and 7 female mollies.

 

[ScoutCarcer]

Wow How long have you had your mollies?

 

[jennyh124]

Just a few month and i still have had no babies at all They dont even look pregnant.

 

[ScoutCarcer]

Well I have no idea why they arent having fry Maybe if you get another male and female they might be interested in each other or the other mollies. Thats all I can think of.

EDIT: Good Luck

That's very unusual, they usually breed like mad. Not saying anything is wrong, they are very hardy fish (in my experience). Perhaps it might take a while.

hmm, have u ever conciered picking out two fish u wanna breed, put them in a smaller tank and when (or if they do) breed, put them back. and then in the late days of pregnancy, put the mama back in that tank, cause it'll take a heck of along time to find all of those baby fish in a 100 gallon tank.

Are you sure they haven't bred and given birth then eaten the fry?

Anythings possible!!

 

[afireinside]

but wouldn' t they notice a fat molly in a 100 gallon tank?

i check the tank allllll the time because im dying to have little fishes swimmin around waiting to be saved None of my female mollies are even fat they just look as thin as the males. I am going to do what oppositearmor said maybe that will work.
