My silver lyre tail molly is giving birth right now!!! :D I am so happy.
But I am very suprise to see that all the fry that she pop out are grey.
The male is also a silver lyre tail.I don't have any oder male molly in my tank so they should be silver no? Are they going to change color when they get older?

Did you just buy them from the pet store? If they were in a tank with other colored mollies than the real father could be a different color. Or they could get their silver coloration later on as they mature.
 
update
Only a few fry are normal. Most of them are born already dead. :sick: I add to remove all the oder fish. Even the 2 corydora panda where eating the fry :-(
The fry are now alone with the swordtail fry born yesterday in my 10 gallon.They don't look to good...I hope they will make it
:/
