Duh!! I thought my molly was female but turns out it's a male. I have 3 platys and 5 fry that have survived thanks to moss and plants. I'm wondering could the molly crossbreed with the platys. I noticed him bullying one or two of them over the past couple of weeks. Thanks guys.
 
but plattys can store sperm for up to 6 months after being in contact with a male... not sure if its the same with mollys
 
It is the same with mollies (and swordtails and guppies too).
 
Livebearers will store sperm and have three or four "batches" of fry per "pregnancy". Also, mollies can't breed with platies. But, platies can breed with swordtails. Guppies can breed with "Endler's" livebearers.
