Mollies in brackish water

[ger87410]

I think my mollies just had sex. What happens when they have sex? Anyone know? Also, how do you tell which is male, and which is female?

bloke = one with bloke 'bits'

bloke pokes 'bits' at female (the one without 'bits')

in - out - in - out

shakes it all about..

thats what its all about

OOOHHHhhh the hokey cokey cokey.... (sorry)

They weren't doing anything like that. They was just circling each other, touching, coming in close, stuff like that. Really did look like a mating ritual. They stopped after like 30 min.

no i dont think they mated but i do think that they will, after mateing the female will get fat and u will have like between 10-50 babys, congrats

Now he's just chasing her around periodically in short spurts. Is this more of that loving behavior? Should I get him another girl?

 

[GuppyDude]

if hes stressin her like that find him another girl, the female will have more and healthy babys if she isnt stressed out.

They're still quite small. About 3". Now periodically he chaces her around in short spurts. Is this some more of that loving behavior? Should I get him another girl?

 

[GuppyDude]

ya get another, and yes that is part of their mateing.

What should the ratio for male:female be?
