mollies fry?????

[MartinB]

OK I know about guppys but never had mollies fry before.
I have seen 3 in my main tank.
Found 2 dead ones. (looks like thay tryed to hide in the gravel and got stuck and died).

The mollies fry look very big. (like 1 and 1/2 months guppy fry)
My 2 mollies are both silver (The female has black dots).
2 seem to be see though and one had a lot of black in it.
Could someone tell me how long would it be before thay get their real colour?

And is it normal to be this big?

I've kept both and it is normal for the mollie fry to be much bigger. I have 3 mollie fry about 1.5 weeks old and they had colours almost right away, they have also doubled in size in that time as they're kept in the same tank as their parents. The colours will probably develop more as they grow older. HTH

Thanks!!

I am keeping them in the main tank.
Thay seem too big to be eaten by the other fish allready.

I found 6 now
Thay are 1cm long and the other fish take no notice of them.

Found 1 witch looks allmost black with silver dots.
