Nice Surprise

[Luke & Penny]

Well woke up this afternoon after my night shift, to go downstairs and be told that I have 9 babies in my tank, Only thing i can think of is itll be from my female molly. Now I have a single baby guppy in there from when a female was in there, before she went to reside in my brothers tank.
They look identical to how the baby guppy did They are also a good size too varying from 3 quarters of a cm to a full cm in length so god knows how long they have been in there as i imagine theyd have been a heck of a lot smaller at the beginning.

Now heres the fun part for you all.
The 2 Mollies in my tank were female. No signs of any male both had the same ermmmmm genital area, Now it seems after months that one of the mollies has the good old male part dangling around.
I didnt think this was possible with mollies like it is with say Clowns.

Anyway so far all 9 seem to be doing well and hiding in the plants.

How young with your mollies? I've had guppies that've changed over time... I had a bunch of youngish guppies (from one of my feeder batches) and I was certain that 8 were female and 2 were male... A few months on and 7 were male with only 3 females.

I think that it is possible for them to change i the early stages but I'm doubtful about later on in their lives. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
