well after the third dropping of fry from my dalmation Molly I want to know, when does it end :hyper: also is there an idiots guide preferably with pics for a total dunce like me on how to tell a female from a male one - I was told it's easy, look for a fin, but no idea where/what this fin is - sorry, a pregnant fish wasn't on the list to have in the tank and she came to us in her present condition so we've had to learn it as we go though have had fish before have never bred! also when do the males become fertile as am concerned her first lot may be able to keep the cycle going so to speak and of course if there's males/females they'll be breeding, if they keep producing like their mother...well I don't even want to think of that one!! :shout: :hyper:

she already looks like her belly's filling up again, how many fry can a molly have?!!

Also her first two batches were pure white, I was told this was normal for molly fry and all ok even though she's a dalmation, a couple have turned nigh on black so far, however in the latest batch they were born with spots and one has a black tail?! :blink:

It depends really on your molly, most can drop anywhere from 15-35 fry, it really depends on the age of the fish, and other conditions such as the food and there health.
