HI Alind

Nice to see you back again.
Females can store sperm for up to 6 months from different males,so more often than not,there will be mixed fry from different matings in a drop.
Hence why you have different coloured fry :)
 
usually when my platies would drop fry they would act odd. swim up and down the tank side, stand still with tail and top fin up. also they would appear to have an open white tube like near the anal fin.
 
In addition to the fry from multiple fathers that Harlequins refers to, a molly may herself be carrying genes for albinism as expressed in the red eyes and for the two different colors. That would allow a male of similar mixed heritage to produce all of those variations with a single mating. There is nothing wrong with the fry, they are just different colors.
