Breeding Mollies

[Kerri Gronow]

I had 2 female mollies and a male molly. The male wasnt interested in the siler female and always was chasing the female dalmation molly. So I decided yesterday I would get another female to hopefully take the stress away from the dalmation.

I am hoping to breed mollies therefore I tried yesterday to find a pregnant molly from the lfs but there was none so I got a female black molly. When I released her into my tank, the male was chasing her straight away,and from what I saw I think he may have done the job as his gonopodium sort of changed direction towards the black female molly, which he had never done to the other females!!!

Is this a sign he may have mated with her and I could expect babies?!

Thank you

You probably will see fry in less than 6 weeks after that mating.
