      You'd be better off setting up 1 tank for the dang hookers, I mean females. I ain't got room for all those extra tanks, so I'm just putting all my fry in 1 tank for now. Hooray for fishy romper room!

        I have a friend with a simple 29 gallon. I gave him some wilds and they produced non stop. He gets by with the minimum amount of attention to the tank. I kept some and spent alot of time and effort and they only produced once. I guess some are just not as picky as others.

          Picky little things, aren't they? LOL

          This morning I volunteered to adopt 4 juvie mollies. 2 of them turned out to be balloon mollies. I don't really like these things because it looks like someone stomped on their heads but it was better than them being flushed.

          BTW, I'm STILL waiting!

              i just bought a bunch of mollys, and tetras for my son and had no idea any of them were prego now i have a bunch of mystery babies swimming around. unfortunately i have too many rocks in there to try and remove them but with so many hiding places maybe i'll get a few survivors and figure out what they are.

                  Mollies can be in both brackish or freshwater and are one of the easiest to breed. They're just as easy as guppies. Toss em in a bucket and they'll do their thing like rabbits.

                    Mollies can actually live anywhere from freshwater to full salt. Currently mine are in 1.004 & they seem to thrive & breed like bunnies.

                    Stephen, tetras aren't livebearers so I'm almost positive that they're molly fry. They're fairly good at hiding, but in my experience, the tetras are fry terrors. I removed all of the tetras from my molly tank. All I keep in that tank now is mollies & platys.

                      They will most likely be a bit different as they grow. Marble, Dalmation, God-Only-Knows-What-To-Call-That color, etc.
                      Many of my new fry looked black newborn but changed color a lot. Never to "white" (wouldn't that be cool, Lippanzer Mollies?) but who knows who the male(s) was/were?

                      Or...black.

                        I've had orange with black heads at birth (still that way weeks later), black that turned dalmatian, black and oh yes... black. I do have one that's pretty CLEAR right now and is more than a month old. Kinda creeped out about that one, lol.
