Weird Fry Color's?

[kribensis12]

Hey. I put a dalmation mollie and a guppy in a 10g breeder tank as they were pendant on birth. So, after a while, i found a few babies. They looked like guppies. So i took out the guppies adn left the mollie in there. A few day's later i took her out as she was skinny. Well, several fry are all white with maybe 1 black dot. But the strange thing is, they look like guppy fry, same shape and everthing. I also have some RED guppy fry! They are barley over a week old! Why are they red? I havent had a platy in there since i set the tank up! Then a few days ago i bought a female black molly, from petsmart and she looked like she was about to die from being too pregnant. She was bigger than this: [URL="http/gallery.pethobbyist.com/data/102137molly2.JPG"]http/gallery.pethobbyist.com/data/102137molly2.JPG[/URL] It was scary as i thought she migth ahve even had bloat she was so big! Well, she dropped on i think monday. Here fry are all black( of course), but when i compared the with the white+ black fry, the black ones are longer, and bigger, but they are younger! Is it possible that the guppy( blonde female by the way!) had guppy/ Molly hybrid's? It is almost impossible to start off with( i have had it happen before though), let alone out of all the mollies in the store. But i dont see any explaination! Any Help? I used the guide i made for everyone about distingushing livebearer fry: [URL="http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showto...p;#entry1870498"]http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showto...p;#entry1870498[/URL] But i have never seen anything like this. NOTE: i did find a few platy fry in my big tank and put them in there( i just remeberd!), but when i put them in there, they were microscopic and they all had black tail's. Any explaination? Thanks in Advance!

The size of the fry depends on the size and number of eggs produced, some mollies will produce fewer eggs but larger fry and other will make loads of small eggs and loads of small fry.

I was looking at some of Moadz molly fry the other week and they was so small i was sure they was guppy fry but as their was only mollies in the tank it could only be them.

Mollies to tend to show a little more colour but not as much as sword or platy fry.

I wish i could get some pic's!!!!! The camera wont add the pic's to the comp! Or else i would have already provided them! I did notice that one red baby has black markings on the tail. Which is leading to belive platy. But the other one dosent have a black marking on it's tail.
