Hi Everyone i really want my damtaion mollys to breed i have 3 females and 1 male. only thing is is that my male is very shy and likes to hide and look from his personal hiding spot how do you think i can get him to breed
 
what are ur water params like? what are u feeding? how long have they been in the tank for together?
 
Well they have been together for a week and everything else is fine
 
could be he's just not use to the new enviornment yet, i'd give him another couple days and see how he's acting. alot of times when u add fihs into a new setting they become stressed and it can take a little while for them to calm down.

sometimes fish will also catch ill after added to a new tank because the level of stress can drop their immune system. keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't develop ich or any other parasite/fungal infection.

what have u been feeding ur mollys? u wanna make sure they have a well balanced diet so they are healthy and strong. this way they don't succumb to disease, will be much more active and will give birth to healthier fry. i feed my platys and swordtails flake food, tubifex worms and blood worms a couple times daily and some sort of blanched green vegetable matter (i.e. spinach) once a week to help with digestion.
 
Well i always fed them at least 2 times a day and i think he is getting used to his new enviorment a little since he almost mated with 1 of my female mollys but gave up so ya i guess hes just adjusting.
