If you're patient I may have some in a month that are old enough to sex.  Granted they'd be babies, but the parents are as you describe.  I would think the fry would be same as the parents.

Good morning,

Spot, do your molly fry have the red albino eyes now?  I have had the albino red sailfin mollies several times but none of their offspring had the albino eyes.  I am going to a friends place this weekend and believe they raise albino sailfin mollies.  Will see if he has any extra to sell.  Edkrueger do you want me to pick you up some?  I don't know how much they would be but they would be raised in Texas.  You can find them at PetSmart if you want to get them at a local store but they are not raised locally.

later, ken

Spot: I'll take a chance if you want to trade. Albino eyes would be nice but not nessesary.
Islander: The petsmart one tend to be quite bad. I think I'll pass on your friends fish, but thanks for the offer. I'd actually prefer to trade for some fry.

Right now the fry in that tank are almost too small to tell fi they're mollies or some stray guppies.  I'll probably be able to tell that much in a week or so.  And it'll probably be a week or so after that when (if they are indeed mollies) I can tell if they've carried the red eyes from their parents.

Howdy Edkrueger,

That is fine, if my friend has some to spare I will pickup some for my self to raise and maybe we can trade later.  Stick with getting some mollies from Spot, if they don't have albino eyes breed them back to brother sister and you might get some the next generation.  We can visit back on this in a couple months.  later, ken

Spot,

Dark eyes bred to albino will give you dark eye mollies unless it carries the albino gene.  Try it!  You will have to breed back to albino or albino siblings to get albino.  later, ken
