Breeding Methods..

[MollyFresh]

Please explain the breeding methods of a livebearer. My Balloon mollies are breeding now but I saw a couple of different things he did. one time it looked like he squeezed the sperm out of him in the water, put it in his mouth and then put it in the female by nipping her butt, and sometimes he tried to physically get on her to do it. Which way are they doing it and am i right about these methods??

males usual display then then approch from underneath and from the rear.
If the females allows him he'll then swing his gonopodium (modified anal fin) forward and then mates with her.
