if you have females and males together this is not gonna stop. seperate your males from the females and still expect babies for a while as the females can store sperm for a while.

oh and welcome to the forum

Do a quick Google Image Search. Mollies are different in shape than Planties. They are longer and their mouths come to more of a point than Platies. They don't look alike when full grown. Do a search and you'll see it.
